Kinco Size Guide

HOW TO MEASURE
Find your glove size quickly & easily by identifying the circumference of your palm using a pliable measuring tape. The measurement (in U.S. inches) should be taken from the inside of your thumb to the outside of your pinky finger. To ensure an accurate sizing, use your dominate hand when you’re measuring. The total length of the measurement can then be converted to your most appropriate Kinco® glove size using the conversion chart.

WHAT ABOUT “ONE-SIZE FITS ALL”?
If the glove style you’ve selected is labeled as “one size,” please note that this means it is designed to fit the average hand within the size range. A men's "one-size" glove generally fits those who typically wear Medium to Large sized men's gloves, whereas a women's "one size" glove generally fits those who typically wear Small to Medium sized women's gloves.
