Glove Size Charts: Helpful Guidelines

The table above provides a Universal Glove Size Chart that applies across multiple glove types, including cricket batting/wicketkeeping gloves, bowls gloves, gym/training gloves, inner gloves, and indoor gloves, covering sizes from Junior Small through to Adult 2X-Large. It is designed to give you a clear overview of typical glove sizing based on hand circumference and hand length, with measurements in inches and centimetres included. This makes it easier to find the right fit across age groups and international standards when shopping online.

However, please note that sizing can vary slightly between brands, so this chart should be used as a general reference only. If a specific product has a brand-supplied size guide, you’ll find it listed in the product description—we recommend referring to that first for the most accurate fit.

Considering More Than Just Size

In addition to hand measurements, it is also important to consider the material, padding, and intended use of gloves. For example:

• Leather or synthetic gloves – Durable and protective, suitable for professional or match play; may stretch slightly with use.
• Lightweight or foam gloves – Designed for practice sessions, youth players, or recreational use; offer moderate protection while allowing freedom of movement.
• Heavily padded gloves – Found in cricket, hockey, or football goalkeeper gloves; may feel snugger and sometimes require sizing up.
• Precision or bowls gloves – Slimmer for control and dexterity, designed for sports where grip and feel are critical.
• Gym gloves – Typically lightweight with minimal padding; sizing should follow hand measurements closely for optimal grip and comfort.

Choosing the Right Size

• If you’re between sizes or unsure, we generally recommend sizing up for added comfort and flexibility.
• This is particularly helpful for growing children, players using heavily padded gloves, or those needing extra room for movement.
• For precision sports (such as bowls or golf), however, a snug fit is preferable — just ensure it does not restrict natural hand movement.

Why This Guide Matters

We know that finding the right glove size can sometimes be a challenge — especially with the wide range of brands, each using their own sizing methods. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive Glove Size Chart Guide to help you make confident, informed decisions when shopping online with us.

Final Note

This general guide is a helpful starting point, but it’s important to remember that glove sizes can vary slightly between brands, padding levels, and sports-specific designs. Whenever possible, we strongly recommend checking the brand-specific size guides provided on our product pages for the most accurate fit.

✅ Pro Tips for Measuring Gloves

• Measure hand circumference: Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your knuckles (excluding the thumb).
• Measure hand length: From the base of your palm to the tip of the middle finger.
• Check finger length and spacing: Especially important for heavily padded gloves or split-finger designs.
• Consider padding thickness: Heavily padded gloves may require sizing up.
• Think about intended use: Gloves for precision sports should fit snugly, while protective gloves may need extra room.
• When in doubt, size up: Especially for youth or heavily padded gloves to ensure comfort and coverage.

Brand-Specific Size Guides

On our website, you’ll find these brand-specific size guides directly under the product description on each product page. These charts are provided by the manufacturers and are the most accurate reference for that particular brand. If a brand-specific guide is listed, we encourage you to follow it rather than relying solely on this general chart.
