Everlast size guide
Find your Everlast size
Choose your glove size based on your body weight, hand circumference and training. Find recommended sizes for bag work and sparring below.
How to find your size
Oz indicates the weight of a glove in ounces. A higher oz weight generally means more padding. Use your body weight and hand measurements as a starting point, then choose according to your training.
Measure your hand
Measure around your knuckles and palm, excluding your thumb and without hand wraps.
Check your weight
Compare your body weight and hand circumference with the relevant chart.
Choose your training type
Bag work and sparring may require different glove weights. Use the column for your training type.
Try on with hand wraps
Your fingers should not feel cramped. The fastening should fit snugly without pinching or slipping.

Age is only a guide. The ranges overlap at age 8. Choose based on the child’s hand size, weight and coach’s advice; this is not a separate sparring chart.
When sizes are labelled S/M or L/XL
Only use this chart for gloves sold in these letter sizes.

The source does not specify a size at exactly 20 cm. Check the fit of the particular model.
Size FAQs
Does oz indicate hand size?
No. Oz indicates weight, and fit can vary between models. Check both your hand measurements and the fit.
Should I measure with hand wraps on?
Measure your hand circumference without wraps. Then try the gloves on with the hand wraps you use for training.
Why do size guides give different measurements?
The Danish guide includes general charts and a model-specific chart. Everlast’s online guide provides different general ranges. Follow the information for your particular model and the requirements of your training.
