How to Choose the Right Work Gloves
Match Gloves to Your Task
General Work: Cotton or jersey gloves for light tasks — gardening, painting, cleanup. Breathable and affordable for all-day wear.
Heavy Duty: Leather gloves for construction, fencing, welding, and landscaping. Superior abrasion and puncture resistance.
Wet Conditions: Coated gloves (latex, nitrile, PVC) for handling wet or oily materials. Essential for plumbing and marine work.
Sizing & Fit
Snug but not tight: Gloves should fit close to the hand without restricting movement. Too loose reduces grip and dexterity.
Leather stretches: New leather gloves will stretch 5-10% after break-in. Start snug — they will conform to your hand shape.
Measure your hand: Wrap tape around your palm at the knuckles. S=7", M=8", L=9", XL=10", 2XL=11"+.
