How do you choose the right work gloves?
Written by Martin Meuldijk | Last update: 07-11-2019
Different activities require different levels or ways of hand protection (e.g. against raw materials or chemicals) and therefore different types of work gloves. On the other hand, gloves may also be used to protect the crop and to prevent the spread of bacteria through the hands.

But how do you determine which work gloves you need in which situation? This entirely depends on the purpose of the gloves: what should they protect against and during which activities do you wear them? In the table below you can see our top three work gloves for different activities. This way you can easily choose which glove is most suitable. Click on the gloves for more information.
Work gloves size chart
The work gloves mentioned above are available in different sizes. When you wear gloves in the right size, you work the easiest and most comfortable way (e.g. you don't have to suffer from sagging). With the help of a measuring tape you can easily calculate the required size by measuring the circumference of your hand. Then use the table below to determine which size you need for gloves for work.| XS / 6 | S / 7 | M / 8 | L / 9 | XL / 10 | XXL / 11 |
| 14 - 17 cm | 17 - 20 cm | 20 - 23 cm | 23 - 25cm | 25 - 27 cm | 27 - 30 cm |
Employer's responsibility
An employer is obliged to inform his employees about the risks of work and to make available the correct personal protective equipment (including work gloves) and to give them instructions for its correct use.
