Nike Gloves Size Guide

This size guide covers Nike Running Gloves and Nike Therma-FIT GORE-TEX Gloves. Sizing is based on two hand measurements — hand circumference and middle finger length. Four glove ranges are covered: Men’s Running Gloves, Women’s Running Gloves, Unisex Running Gloves, and Therma-FIT GORE-TEX Gloves.

How to Measure

Use a soft tape measure and take both measurements on your dominant hand.

  • A
    Hand Circumference Wrap a measuring tape snugly around your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. This is the primary sizing measurement.
  • B
    Middle Finger Length Measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your middle finger. Use this as a secondary check alongside hand circumference.

If between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit or size down for a snugger feel.

Fit Notes — Nike Gloves
  • Always size using hand circumference as the primary measurement, with middle finger length as a secondary check. Where the two measurements suggest different sizes, hand circumference takes priority.
  • If between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit with easier finger movement, or size down for a snugger, more compressive feel.
  • The Men’s and Women’s Running Gloves use gender-specific sizing — women’s gloves are proportioned for narrower hands. If you are a woman with larger hands, check both the women’s L and men’s S before deciding.
  • The Unisex Running Gloves use hand circumference only and are sized in combined ranges (XS/S, S/M etc.). Select the range that includes your hand circumference.
  • The Therma-FIT GORE-TEX Gloves extend down to XXS for smaller hands and up to XL for larger hands. The GORE-TEX construction adds some bulk — if you are between sizes on this range, the larger size is generally recommended for ease of movement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Nike Gloves

Wrap a soft tape measure snugly around your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Keep the tape flat against the skin without compressing the hand. Note the measurement in centimetres or inches and match to the relevant size table above.

Use the gender-specific table that matches the gloves you are purchasing. Men’s and women’s gloves are proportioned differently. If you are a woman with a larger hand circumference, it is worth checking both the women’s L and men’s S to see which size range fits your measurement better before deciding.

Nike Unisex Running Gloves are designed to fit both men and women and are sized in combined ranges (XS/S, S/M, M/L, L/XL, XL/XXL) using hand circumference only. They are a good option when a gender-specific size is not available or when you want a single pair to share between different sized hands.

The Nike Therma-FIT GORE-TEX Gloves combine Nike’s Therma-FIT insulation technology with a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, making them suitable for wet and cold conditions. They run from XXS to XL to accommodate a wider range of hand sizes, and the GORE-TEX construction adds some bulk compared to standard running gloves. If between sizes on this range, sizing up is generally recommended.

Use hand circumference as the primary guide. Middle finger length is a secondary check to confirm the size works for the length of your fingers as well as the width of your hand. If the two measurements suggest different sizes, hand circumference takes priority.

Follow the care label on your specific gloves. Most Nike running gloves can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Do not tumble dry — allow to air dry naturally. Do not iron. For GORE-TEX gloves, follow the specific GORE-TEX care instructions included with the product to maintain the waterproof membrane.
