The first thing you'll want to do when purchasing football gloves is reference the football glove size chart for that brand. Our glove chart is featured above. Just like shoes, football gloves come in different sizes, and finding your exact size will help ensure that your gloves fit properly and add the hand grip boost that you're looking for. Once you locate the sizing guide, measure your hand to see what size glove you wear.
How to Measure Your Hand
Sizing yourself for gloves is easy. The only tool you need to do it is a measuring tape. With a measuring tape, you'll need to measure both the circumference and length of your hand.
- Measuring your hand length: Take the tape measurer and measure from the tip of your longest finger down to the palm of your hand.
- Measuring your hand circumference: Start below the knuckles and measure all the way around your hand.
Following these measurements (note: circumference is not commonly included in football glove sizes), line up your information with the appropriate glove on the sizing chart. Football gloves tend to come in six to seven sizes for both the youth and adult categories, from small to extra large, and even extra extra large sizes.
