Glove Sizing System
The HANDLOGIC® Glove Sizing System is
an improved system that incorporates two-dimensional dimensions
of a human hand into a size designator of a glove size. The
quantified size designator facilitates a quantified process
for a user to select a proper glove size for best fit and
tactility.
Prior glove sizing systems have been focused on the circumference
of the hand. This focus provides the necessary palm width
to put the gloves on and off. However, for a given palm width,
there are multiple choices for corresponding finger lengths.
As a result the gloves based on circumference are often sized
with fingers that are too long in length.
The HANDLOGIC® Glove Sizing System utilizes
the length of the index finger (in millimeters) as the size
designator. This finger is the most critical for sense of
touch and manipulating small objects - also referred to as
tactility. Therefore, when gloves are made to closely fit
this finger length, the optimum tactility is realized.
| Advantages
of using the HANDLOGIC® Glove Sizing System: |
1. |
It allows a person to choose a glove that offers the
best fit in terms of a specific attribute such as tactility. |
| 2. |
The glove sizing system has the advantage
of allowing a person to logically chose, in a quantified
manner, the glove size that corresponds to their measured
hand dimension. |
3. |
The glove size designations refer to actual hand measurements
that can be measured by a person with out using any specialized
hand-measuring device. A ruler or scale found in a common
household is adequate for measuring the index finger length. |
| 4. |
The size designations are not abstract
descriptors; therefore the user knows how the glove will
fit their hand based on the size designation. An example
of a generic abstract descriptor would be the word “Large”.
Unfortunately, for the end user, the manufacturers
have no standard for what a size “Large” is
and therefore, you will find that a size “Large”
varies in dimensions for each manufacturer and/or glove
style. |
5. |
The glove sizing system is a single sizing system that
applies to both male and female hands. |
| 6. |
There is a reduction in the trial
and error time required by a consumer when they are selecting
a proper glove size. The reduced trial and error time
is due to the quantified logic applied to the size designator.
This logic facilitates a quantified process of selecting
the proper glove size. |
7. |
The HANDLOGIC® Glove Sizing System has
a great advantage when used in sales of gloves via e-commerce,
catalogues and other similar mediums in which the consumer
is not able to physically touch the glove product prior
to purchasing. Once the person knows one or two of their
two-dimensional hand dimensions and that this dimension
corresponds to the glove size, the choice of the proper
size glove is more assured as opposed to choosing a glove
with an abstract descriptor such as “large”. |
| 8. |
This system provides a quantified
and directly correlated process for a central procurement
buyer to procure the proper quantity of each glove size
once one or more easily measured hand dimensions of the
users are known and kept in a database. The organizer
of this data can select the proper glove size for each
user by applying this data to a hand fit chart that accompanies
the glove sizing system. |
9. |
This sizing system becomes a self-policing policy for
standardization amongst glove manufacturers because the
size designator directly corresponds to the hand size
of the glove it is intended to fit. This counters the
common response by manufacturers that say their gloves
run “large” or run “small” when
a customer is dissatisfied with the fit of the gloves. |
| 10. |
The sizing system aids the retailer
by minimizing the times that customers need to take gloves
out of their packaging. This is because there is less need
for the consumer to try on different sizes to select the
best fitting glove. |
11. |
In closing, it is all about providing the proper glove
size for best fit and tactility in a logical and easy
to use system. |
