How do I know what size Chiba Gel Comfort Gloves to order?

What activities are these gloves best suited for?

Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide if available. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
Reduced grip on the palm
Clean the palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before use.
Excessive sweating inside the gloves
While designed for breathability, heavy exertion may still lead to sweat. Ensure the gloves are properly dried after each use. The terrycloth thumb can help manage sweat during activity.
Material wear on the palm
Inspect the palm regularly. The microfiber trim is designed for durability, but consistent abrasion can lead to wear. Ensure correct care and avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces.
