Proper sizing should be determined in number of inches, not a letter of the alphabet. However, we Americans prefer generalization and simplifications so most sizes are identified as XS, SM, MED, LG and XL.
We offer two methods of helping to determine size. The first one is 90%+ accurate, the second about 70% accurate. Use the second method to help determine a size when buying gloves as a gift.
Method 1:
Using a tape measure (in inches), press the starting end of the tape between
the thumb knuckle and hand (fist) knuckles. Wrap the tape around the hand
knuckles until you reach the beginning or where you started this unique
adventure. The thumb is not included in the wrap around (sorry, thumb).
Read the number of inches where your tape end meets your "wrap around" and you have the approximate numeric size of your hand. Here are some matchups of the numerics with some of our styles and sizes:
