Your Guide to Glove Gauges

If you've spent any time at all here on Vtrust, you've probably already noticed that certain gloves are described in terms of gauges. With so may things to look out for when buying protective gloves, from standards, to resistance levels and risk categories, we realise how adding one more thing to the list might make the process seem a bit too complicated for any newcomer to the world of gloves.

Don't worry, understanding glove gauges is as easy as it can be, and it can help to find the right glove for your needs. The purpose of this short guide is to lead you through various glove gauges available, and explain what the main differences between them are.

What is a Glove Gauge?

The word gauge simply means the number of stitches per inch of a particular glove. As the number of stitches increases, the glove's gauge increases as well, but the amount of yarn used actually decreases. This means that less yarn is needed to cover the area, resulting in thinner gloves.

What are the Differences Between Glove Gauges?

Certain glove gauges are better suited for certain applications, since they offer different advantages. While each gauge comes with its own characteristics, the general rule of thumb is this: the lower the gauge, the thicker, more durable and less dexterous the glove.
