How to Measure Your Hand for Heated Gloves
A good fit helps heated gloves feel comfortable, warm consistently and maintain natural finger movement. Measure both hands, use the larger measurements and select the Arcfomor model you plan to wear.
Arcfomor gloves generally fit smaller than many standard North American winter gloves. If you are between sizes, close to the upper end of a size range or prefer more room through the fingers, choose the larger size.
How to Measure Your Hand for Gloves
1Measure Both Hands
Hand size can differ slightly from left to right. Measure both hands and use the larger circumference and length when choosing your size.
2Measure Hand Circumference
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles. Do not include your thumb. Keep your hand relaxed and the tape snug, but not tight.
3Measure Hand Length
Measure from the wrist crease at the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Keep your hand flat with your fingers naturally extended.
No flexible tape? Wrap a piece of string around your palm, mark where the ends meet and measure the string with a ruler.
Hand Circumference, Palm Width and Hand Length
These measurements describe different parts of the hand. For Arcfomor sizing, use hand circumference and hand length.
Hand Circumference
Measured around the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. This is the primary measurement used in the size calculator.
Palm Width
The straight-line distance across the widest part of the palm. Palm width is not the same as circumference and is not required by this calculator.
Hand Length
Measured from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger. It helps determine whether the glove fingers will provide enough length.

Available sizes: Ember is available in S–XXL. Dragonfly is available in L and XL. Other current Arcfomor glove models are available in S–XL.
If circumference and length indicate different sizes, start with the larger size. Because Arcfomor gloves tend to fit smaller than many standard North American gloves, choose the larger size when you are between sizes or near the upper end of a range.
How Should Heated Gloves Fit?
Heated gloves should feel secure without squeezing the palm, limiting finger movement or creating pressure at the fingertips. A glove that is too loose can reduce dexterity and make it harder to grip tools, handlebars, ski poles or a phone.
Dragonfly Heated Liners
Dragonfly is Arcfomor's dedicated heated liner and is designed for a closer fit. It should not feel restrictive. When wearing it under another glove, make sure the outer glove has enough room for the liner, your fingers and the wrist battery area.
Spider Silk and Feather
These models can be worn on their own or layered under a roomier outer glove. They are thicker than Dragonfly, so check the available space inside your outer shell before using them as liners.
Insulated, Work and Ski Gloves
These gloves should leave enough room for natural finger movement without excess material at the fingertips. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size rather than relying on the insulation to stretch.
Motorcycle Gloves
Check palm comfort, finger length and access to the controls. The glove should feel secure when gripping the handlebar without pulling tightly across the knuckles or bunching at the fingertips.
If your measurements indicate different sizes: use the larger size as your starting point. For example, if circumference indicates M and length indicates L, start with L. If your measurements fall outside the available sizes for a product, contact us rather than forcing the closest size.
Do Rechargeable Hand Warmers Have Sizes?
Rechargeable hand warmers are normally selected by their physical dimensions rather than glove sizes such as Small, Medium or Large. Consider whether the device needs to fit in a coat pocket, how it feels in your hand and how you plan to carry it.
Do not force a rigid rechargeable hand warmer inside a fitted five-finger glove. Use it in a coat pocket, mitten compartment or another location recommended by the product instructions. See the Arcfomor rechargeable hand warmer collection for product dimensions and details.
