Black Diamond Glove Size Guide

Find the right Black Diamond glove size using the official men's, women's and unisex size charts.

Black Diamond determines glove sizing according to hand circumference. Men's and unisex models generally use sizes from XS to XXL, while women's models follow a dedicated size chart ranging from XXS to L.

The sizes available may vary depending on the model. Always refer to the size options shown on the product page.

How to choose the right Black Diamond glove size

To determine your size, measure the circumference of your dominant hand using a flexible measuring tape. Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger than the other.

A properly fitting glove should closely follow the shape of your hand without squeezing your fingers or restricting movement. Gloves that are too tight can reduce dexterity and insulation, while oversized gloves may reduce grip and precision.

How to measure your hand

Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand, across the knuckles, without including the thumb.

Keep your hand relaxed and the tape comfortably snug without tightening it. Record the measurement in centimetres and compare it with the appropriate Black Diamond size chart.

What if you are between two sizes?

If your measurement falls between two sizes, consider the intended use and the fit of the glove.

For technical activities requiring precision, choose a close fit without your fingertips pressing against the ends of the glove.

For insulated winter gloves, a small amount of extra room helps maintain comfort, finger mobility and thermal performance.

How should a glove fit?

Put the glove on completely and check that your fingers naturally reach the ends without being compressed. There should not be excessive empty space at the fingertips.

Make a fist, hold a ski pole or simulate the movements of your activity. The glove should not pull across the knuckles or move excessively around the hand.

The wrist should remain secure once the cuff or closure system is adjusted.

Can you wear glove liners?

Some Black Diamond gloves are designed to be worn with thin glove liners, especially for winter activities. However, there must still be enough room for comfortable finger movement without compressing the insulation.

If you regularly use glove liners, take this additional thickness into account when trying on your gloves. It is not always necessary to size up if the model has been designed for layering.

Frequently asked questions about Black Diamond glove sizing

Should I measure hand length?

Black Diamond sizing is primarily based on hand circumference. Finger length should still be checked during fitting to ensure the fingertips are not compressed.

Should the thumb be included when measuring?

No. Measure around the widest part of your hand across the knuckles without including the thumb.

Do men's and women's gloves use the same size chart?

No. Women's models use a dedicated chart, while men's and unisex models generally use the XS to XXL chart.

Are all Black Diamond gloves sized the same?

The body measurements are consistent across the range, but the fit, insulation and available sizes may vary depending on the model.

Should insulated gloves fit tightly?

No. They should fit securely without compressing the hand. Gloves that are too tight can reduce comfort, finger mobility and thermal efficiency.
