How to size your hands for great fitting gloves
- Print out the Hand-Size-Guide, lay it flat on a table. Lovely Hands – Final Hand-Size-Guide
- Standing up, place your right hand over the blue hand outline, follow the written instructions, and keep your fingers together not splayed. Note the size number suggested and look for this in the ‘select a size’ option on the product page. Manufacturers recommend rounding up the size if you are in between.
- Other factors to bear in mind;
-
- If you are tall you tend to have hands needing the larger glove sizes.
- If your fingers are long or chunky this may also necessitate a larger size.
- Depending on how stretchy the fabric you may get a better fit in your lower size.

Ladies & men’s – Maxiflex Elite, Active and Ultimate, Showa 370, 341, 306.          Ladies        –Tegera 90066, 90068, 90065
My personal example;
The blue outline suggests I am between a size 6 and 7, closer to the 6.
In stretchy gloves where I want to have my fingers right down to the ends I wear a 6. In leather gloves that do not have so much stretch I wear a 7. I have slim fingers.
Men – please see the table of men’s hand measurements for each individual glove on the product pages.

I’m an ice steward at an ice rink. No day is the same. At the start of the day I could be walking around doing all the safety checks or I could be on the ice stewarding. Keeping my hands warm is key because I’m in contact with the ice and people all the time. The 517 gloves fit well, they keep in the heat and no water or ice gets inside of them. I have noticed a big difference in my hands at work now as they are warmer and they don’t freeze while I’m carrying my duties.
Mary (verified owner) –
Have bought these as a Christmas present for a dog walker so can’t comment yet on how they perform but they seem perfect for the job. They arrived promptly and are well priced. Very pleased.
Linda (verified owner) –
I purchased maxi flex and Tegera water pro. Just arrived so haven’t had time to test them, but products as described and good fit, I used the sizing guide. Also dispatched and with me within 24 hours although only paid for standard delivery. I will definitely order from you again.
Jeanne (verified owner) –
Thank you for sending my gloves so quickly they are excellent, just right for when I am taking our little dog for a walk. Great grip on the lead and keep my hands warm as well thanks again.

It taken a few tries to find the right pair of gloves that I can use whilst out with my dog but having used these for nearly two months (including in the days when we had snow and ice to contend with) I can confirm that these are perfect.
Firstly they are not too thick – so holding the dog lead and using the clip onto the collar is easy to do, secondly they are warm and dry (even on the cold, wet and muddy days that we are having right now) thirdly they are easy to clean (just keep them on and wipe them over with a wet cloth, two minutes later they are dry and back in my jacket pocket ready to use again) and last but not least they look good and quality made so hopefully they will last through a few winters for me.
Having had to try a few sizes before I found a pair that fitted properly I would advise you order a bigger size than the measuring chart suggests – or contact Clare at LovelyHands who will help you find the right size.
Caroline –
I thought you might like to know the gloves fit my husband perfectly and he is delighted with them. Excellent personal service, thanks.
Sophie –
I wear these gloves for yard work with my horses and they are hands down the best pair of gloves I have worn for the job – LOVE that they are waterproof so no wet hands in the morning when opening gates or washing water and feed bowls. They are still nimble enough to be able to do rug fastenings. I also get super cold hands and these are superb for helping keeping my hands warm… they are durable, warm and up to an horsey job!

Dog walking gloves are excellent; practical, hardwearing and very comfortable. Can usually pick up dog poo without taking them off, although sometimes need to be removed to tie up the poo bags which is why I’m giving 4 rather than 5. However it could be that I don’t have a great deal of sensitivity in my finger tips, so someone else might well allocate a 5!
Andrew (verified owner) –
Amazing gloves, use them every time I take my dogs out there warm, great grip, does the job I wanted them for. Also the service is one I have never came across before within minutes I had an email from a lady who helped me and suggested a size above what I ordered and she was spot on
Bobbie (verified owner) –
I’m not confident using the internet so I phoned up to speak to someone, to check my size and how to pay as I really needed warm dog walking gloves in this weather. Clare helped me with my size and reassured me that the site was easy to use, no need to set up accounts etc… She stayed on the line until I was happy, and we said goodbye when I needed to use both hands! The gloves arrived quickly and they fit lovely. Lovely service, easy website, quick delivery, I wish all companies were like you.

Your gloves have been used in earnest over the past couple of (very cold) days ~ I was caught in a blizzard yesterday! Provided your hands aren’t very cold before you put them on they are lovely and warm and keep your hands that way. If your hands are very cold at the outset it takes a while for them to warm up, but warm up they do and then they stay warm.
I haven’t yet had the opportunity to test them in significant rain but I am sure that they will perform well, wet snow yesterday and today has given me a pretty good idea of the gloves waterproofness! I give them a 4.5 out of 5 and I have no doubt I will be back to buy some more at some point!
With them on I retain sufficient dexterity to do up zips, tie pooh bags, all the things that one does out walking the dog. I am very pleased. Thank you.
Gillian (verified owner) –
Gloves arrived today, perfect fit, feel really nice on. Will be great for walking dogs. Excellent service.
John (verified owner) –
Have been using these gloves for dog walking for a couple months now and they work well- warm, not too bulky and waterproof. I measured my hand (knuckle circ 20 cm
Hand length 19-20 cm
Middle finger length 8 cm) and looking at the sizing guides, decided to order size 9 gloves. Clare from ‘Lovely Hands’ got in touch and suggested that size 11 might be more suitable for my hand size, so ended up getting three sizes to try (9, 10& 11). Settled on size 10 and am very happy with these. Returned the other 2 pairs and was promptly refunded by Clare. I must say the service I received from Clare was excellent and these gloves do the job for dog walking activities.

Excellent product, excellent service. Ordered Wednesday pm, arrived Thursday am. Highly recommended
Clare (verified owner) –
Very happy with the gloves and speedy service. Thank you.
Lisa (verified owner) –
Purchased a pair of the “Tegera 517 thermal & waterproof gloves“ for walking the dogs and I have not been disappointed! Lovely and warm but also very practical I would highly recommend buying a pair. And at £12 they are a bargain in comparison to similar branded gloves. Well worth it!
Alison (verified owner) –
Excellent Service. I ordered one day and my gloves arrived the next. I used the size guide on the web site and was a bit dubious as I usually have trouble finding gloves to fit. However, it worked and although I haven’t had chance to wear the gloves yet, but they seem warm, good quality and above all, fit! I will very probably come back at some time soon for some new gardening gloves too. Thank you Clare.
Jacquiline Maclachlan (verified owner) –
Really quick service – ordered on Tuesday night and had them by Thursday. Gloves are very high quality, exactly what I was after for chilly walks with the dog! I used the size chart and they fit perfectly. Highly recommended! 🙂
Helen Buchan (verified owner) –
Was recommended this from a Rhodesian Ridgeback Facebook page so thought I’d give them a go I have 4 horses and 2 dogs so as you can imagine I’m outside quite a bit! I have used them and find they are doing what they say on the tin! Super fast delivery from company and well packaged! Would recommend highly as reasonably priced unlike some equestrian wear. L
Brian Murdoch (verified owner) –
Bought these gloves for walking the dog ordered them one day and they arrived the next day. Tried them on and they fit great and feel good quality, will probably be back for a pair for the garden at the start of the year.
Jackie Powell (verified owner) –
great service arrived very promptly and fit great and feel lovely. I`ve bought them for dog walking in winter and I think they will be perfect for the job.
Carol (verified owner) –
I received my Tegera gloves yesterday and I just wanted to say thank you – they are fab. I wore them for walking the dog this morning and they are cosy enough to keep me warm but I was also able to feel enough through them for feeding him training treats and clipping him on and off the lead without feeling like I was wearing boxing gloves.
I’m so pleased I used the size guide provided as my hands are quite small and slim. I ordered the size 6 and they fit perfectly.
Also, thanks for the little note inside the parcel. It’s personal touches like this that makes people remember you and want to come back.
Victoria Grrenall (verified owner) –
I bought the thermal waterproof gloves for horse riding and they arrived last week, they are AMAZING. I have just ordered 2 more pairs for my mum also! Ready for winter now! ??
Lucy Bentley (verified owner) –
Lovely warm gloves… I bought a pair as a present and have now gone back to get some for myself!
Lauren Clements (verified owner) –
Fab product and fantastic quick service! These gloves are great for at the stables, very waterproof and keep my fingers warmer than any other gloves I’ve tried. Loved the personal touch of sending a hand written note with the gloves!
Charlotte Barnes (verified owner) –
These gloves are AMAZING! I have horses and suffer terribly with finger pain in the winter due to Raynaud’s disease. The gloves keep my hands dry which prevents pain setting in and the super soft lining is warm and comfortable.
Sarah Holloway (verified owner) –
Hi, I have just worn my news gloves for a rather chilly dog walk. They are a good fit, warm and a real bonus is that I can secure them around my wrists so my wayward puppy can’t steal them ?
Eleanor Warner (verified owner) –
though my original ones have lost all their grip and worn through on my thumbs .. they have served me really well through 18 months of yard work !! kept me warm on metal handles and yet given me the dexterity to do up buckles on cold days – so thank you !!
Jackie Dyson (verified owner) –
I have recently bought some Tegera 517 – thermal and waterproof gardening gloves, which I find totally perfect for walking the dogs. Thank you.
Moira Maughan (verified owner) –
Thanks so much for the gloves which you sent in double quick time. My sister visited at the weekend and after trying hers on I couldn’t resist ordering some. They will be perfect when I next go out on my bike.
