A glove that's too tight restricts movement. One too loose reduces control. Finding your perfect fit takes less than 60 seconds.
Step by Step
How to measure
your hand.
What you need:
Place your hand flat
Place your dominant hand flat on a surface with fingers together and palm facing up.
Measure A to B
Measure from the tip of your middle finger (A) to the base of your palm (B) — just before the wrist begins.
Enter your measurement
Use the calculator below in inches or centimeters. Aim for ¼" to ½" (0.5–1.2 cm) of space beyond your fingertips for optimal comfort.
Between two sizes? Always choose the larger size for better flexibility and to reduce the risk of tearing.

FAQ
Common questions.
What if I'm between two glove sizes?
We always recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit. A slightly looser glove allows better flexibility and reduces the risk of tearing. Remember: a bit of extra space is better than a tight fit that limits your performance.
How does the finger-save system affect glove sizing?
Finger-save gloves tend to feel slightly tighter due to the internal protection structure. If you're used to gloves without this feature, consider going up half a size or selecting a more flexible model. At NYK, our finger-save technology is built for protection without compromising comfort.
Can I exchange gloves if the size is wrong?
Yes. NY Keepers offers size exchanges within a set period after receiving your order. Just make sure the gloves are unused and in their original packaging. Check our Returns Policy for full details. Our mission is to get you the perfect fit — no stress, no fuss.
Does glove size vary between NYK models?
NYK gloves follow a consistent sizing standard across all models. However, the cut type can affect how the glove feels on your hand. Negative and Ergo-Negative cuts tend to feel tighter, while ErgoRoll and Hybrid cuts offer a more relaxed fit at the same size.
