What is My Hestra Glove Size? – Hestra Gloves

Finding your perfect Hestra glove size can seem tricky, especially since Hestra uses European numerical sizing rather than the familiar S, M, L. Measuring your hand is the most accurate starting point, but for many people, converting their usual S, M, L size to a number is faster and simpler.

If you can’t visit a local Hestra retailer to try gloves on, this guide should help.

Important: Everyone’s fit preference is different, and minor size variations exist between hands. While we cannot guarantee a perfect size online, this advice will help you get close.

Step 1: Measure Your Hand

Use a measuring tape around the widest part of your dominant hand (just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb).
Measure in centimeters or inches, and compare to Hestra’s size chart

Please Note: Size guide must be printed for accurate results, measuring on your computer will not deliver accurate results.

Step 2: Quick Conversion from S, M, L

Most US consumers find their Hestra numerical size is the same as their US shoe size or within one number.

Quick tip: Use this only for a starting point. Hand shape, glove style, and personal fit preference may affect your final choice.

Step 3: Consider Style & Fit

Ergo Grip / Vertical Cut: Snug, pre-curved design → may feel tighter
Dress Gloves: Designed to stretch slightly → consider sizing down or half size if available
Ski / Sport Gloves: Slight room for insulation → consider sizing up if you prefer extra warmth or want to add a baselayer/liner

Step 4: When in Doubt

Visit a local Hestra retailer to try gloves on.
👉 Find a retailer near you:
If visiting a store isn’t an option, we recommend ordering both sizes to try on at home, with the intention of returning one.

Important: Please keep the tags on your gloves until you are certain which size you plan to keep.

Final Recommendation

Start with your measured size or approximate S, M, L conversion.
Adjust depending on style and personal preference.
Remember: a glove should be snug enough for dexterity but allow insulation and comfort for long-term wear.
