How to measure the size of your hand to choose your gloves?

To find out your size, take a tape measure, and measure your hand circumference – without tightening – at the joints of the palm, as shown in the photo, with your hand laid flat:

Take the measurement on your “guiding hand”, i.e. the right for right-handers, and the left for left-handers.

Then see the table below

Glove sizing is measured in inches and ½ inches (one inch equals 2.54 centimetres).

It is the same for men and women.

The sizes indicated on 1000gants.com are French sizes.

When you first try, your glove will have to wrap your hand properly. It will stretch after a few hours, and will form to your hand, for maximum comfort!
