A great pair of gardening gloves can make all the difference between a comfortable day in the garden and sore, blistered hands. But with so many options, one question comes up again and again: How do I know what size of gardening gloves to buy?

At Garden Works, we believe the perfect fit is just as important as durability and protection. Here are a few tips to help you find your glove size with confidence.

Why Glove Size Matters

Choosing the right size isn’t just about comfort. Well-fitted gloves improve dexterity, protect against blisters, and give you the grip you need for tools, soil, and plants. Gloves that are too loose can slip and cause accidents, while gloves that are too tight can restrict movement and wear out faster.

How to Measure Your Hands

To find your glove size, you’ll need a flexible measuring tape:

1. Wrap the tape around the widest part of your palm (just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb).

2. Record the measurement in inches.

3. Match the measurement to the closest glove size on our chart.

If you fall between sizes, it’s generally best to size up for comfort.

Final Thought: When in doubt, measure twice and consult our sizing guide before you buy. Your hands will thank you the next time you’re planting, pruning, or pulling weeds with gloves that fit just right.
