Personal safety.
Consider it done
A glove should actually be like a second skin. Not too tight and certainly not too big. Everyone has their own preference, but to give an indication, below are some useful tools to determine the correct size:
Some SHOWA designs have a color-coded border. With the help of these edges, the size can be recognized in the factory and glove pairs can be recognized after washing.
If the glove is too small, it will cut off blood circulation and restrict the hand's freedom of movement. While
gloves that are too large will slide off with the slightest movement and make your movements particularly inaccurate. If you want to be sure of your size, don't hesitate ask for test gloves
