Gloves
A proper fit is extremely important. An uncomfortable fit causes hand fatigue and ultimately could lead to a potential workplace hazard. Measure the width of your hand 1 inch below the base of your first finger and across your knuckles.
5 / 2XS 2.75 inches / 68 mm

Sleeves
To find the best fit, measure the circumference of your bicep and choose the corresponding sleeve size according to the chart below.
2XS 9.75 inches / 250 mm
XS 10.25 inches / 260 mm
S 10.5 inches / 270 mm
Sleeves are available in multiple lengths.
For a more natural fit, some sleeves come in a tapered version which provide better comfort. Tapered sleeves are designed to fit the contours of your arm and won’t lose shape due to stretching (Tapered) (Tubular)
Quick Fit Tips
A good fit is important for comfort and protection. Our measurements offer a starting point, but personal preference is key.
Clothing should fit comfortably without excessive bunching when moving. It shouldn’t be too loose or too tight as that can affect the safety performance.
