How to Measure Your Hand for the Perfect Chainmail Glove Fit

When it comes to gloves and safety, proper sizing is just as important as the quality of the glove itself. A chainmail glove that fits well ensures maximum cut protection, better grip, and improved comfort—whether you’re slicing meat in a butcher shop or handling sharp metal in an industrial setting.

Why Proper Sizing Matters for Gloves and Safety

Chainmail gloves are crafted from interlocking metal rings—usually stainless steel or titanium—designed to resist cuts from sharp knives, blades, and tools. However:

• Too loose → Reduced grip, higher risk of slipping and accidents.

• Too tight → Limited movement and discomfort during long hours.

Whether you require gloves and safety gear for cutting food or working with metal, the right fit will protect your hands without sacrificing dexterity.

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Hand for Chainmail Gloves

1. Measure Hand Circumference

Use a soft measuring tape around the widest part of your palm (excluding the thumb). Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

📏 Standard Size Chart (may vary by brand):

• Small: 7–8 inches (18–20 cm)

• Medium: 8–9 inches (20–23 cm)

• Large: 9–10 inches (23–25 cm)

• XL: 10+ inches (25+ cm)

2. Measure Hand Length

Place the tape measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. This determines finger coverage, especially important for knife protection gloves.

3. Check Finger Flexibility

Some cut-proof gloves include adjustable wrist straps for a snug fit. If you have wide fingers, choose a flexible metal butcher glove design for better comfort.
