Proper sizing of gloves can ensure a comfortable fit. A poorly fitting glove may cause a poor grip and ineffective barrier protection.
Measuring the hand circumference: Wrap a cloth measuring tape around hand, about the second through fifth metacarpals, just proximal to the metacarpal-proximal phalangeal joint.
