Cycling Glove Size Guide
Cycling gloves fit snug — size by hand circumference for grip and comfort on the bars.
Cycling gloves should fit snug with no bunching across the palm, where pressure builds on the bars. Size by hand circumference (S–XL); between sizes, size down for race fit or up for all-day comfort.

Should cycling gloves be tight?
Yes, snug — a loose glove bunches under the palm and causes pressure points and numbness on longer rides.
