How to Find Your Mechanix Glove Size
To get the best fit from your Mechanix Wear gloves, you’ll need to measure two things: your finger length and palm width. Use a ruler or tape measure and follow the steps below:

View Size Guide

Step 1: Measure Your Finger Length

  • Place your hand flat and measure from the base of your palm (position A) to the tip of your middle finger (position B).
  • Write down the measurement in centimetres (cm).
  • Use the Finger Length chart to find your size range under “Men’s”, “Women’s”, or “Youth”.

Step 2: Measure Your Palm Width

  • With your hand open, measure across your palm from the outer edge below your little finger to the inner edge below your index finger (position A to B).
  • Record this width in centimetres.
  • Match your measurement to the Palm Width chart to confirm your size range.

Step 3: Match Your Size

  • Compare your finger length and palm width to find your glove size (e.g. Small, Medium, Large).
  • If your measurements fall between two sizes, size down for a snug fit or size up for a more relaxed fit.
  • Use the centre column labelled "Glove Size" for general size guidance.

Quick Sizing Tips

  • Snug fit preferred? Choose the smaller size.
  • Use gloves for dexterity or touchscreen work? Snug fit is best.
  • Between sizes? Size down unless you prefer a looser feel.

Recommended For

These gloves are best suited to users who want a light-duty tactical glove for dexterity-focused tasks, general handling, shooting sports, and low-hazard maintenance work. The EN 388: 2121X rating supports light abrasion and tear protection, but it does not indicate high cut or high puncture protection. They are a better fit for lighter-duty use than for sharp, heavy-duty, or more demanding mechanical hazards.
