Sizing notes

- Fingertips should barely touch the end of the glove when your hand is in a fist.
Fit check — how the glove should feel
Good fit: Fingertips barely touch the end of the glove with a closed fist. Small gap is ideal.
Too big: If you can fit a full finger past your fingertips, go down a half size.
Too small: Fingertips push hard against the end, can't make a fist comfortably, go up a half size.
Wrist mobility: With arm bent at 90°, the cuff should overlap the elbow pad without a gap or long overlap.
