Q:What size would you suggest for a woman with average size hands? I'm a bit uncertain about which size to choose because the photos only show children.
Asked by: linda53
- 12/11/2018
A: You would need to measure the top of your hand across the knuckles (index finger to pinky finger). I'm 5'2" and my hand measures 3 inches, so I would be in between a medium and large. I would order the large because the straps are adjustable and I'd rather it to be a little too big than too small. The weights are the same for both.

Q:Hi, I asked a question yesterday regarding size. I believe that the x-large might fit my client. However, it is too light. Do you have any that are 3 lbs?
Asked by: Tania
- 8/9/2019
A: We don't have any gloves that weigh up to 3 lbs, however if you are handy with a needle and thread the stitching could be opened and weight could be added and sewn back together. Additional steel shots may be available at a fitness equipment store, such as Sports Academy. Altering the product in any way would void any warranties or eligibility for returns.
