Aurelia BayWhy Fit Dictates Thermal Performance
A winter glove cannot keep you warm if it fits too tightly. When fabric compresses against your fingertips, blood circulation slows down and the microfleece lining loses its insulating air pockets, leaving your fingers vulnerable to the cold.
How to Measure Your Palm Correctly
To find your size, use a flexible tailor tape measure around the widest part of your dominant hand, excluding the thumb.
- Palm Circumference: Wrap the tape snugly around your knuckles while keeping your hand flat and fingers relaxed.
- Hand Length: Measure from the base crease of your wrist to the very tip of your middle finger.
- Allowance Check: Compare your measurements against our sizing grid, allowing roughly three to four millimeters of clearance at the fingertips for optimal air loft.
Common Sizing Traps
Buying a size too large causes excess fabric at the fingertips, which impairs the accuracy of conductive touch pads. Buying a size too small stretches the softshell seams and pinches the microfleece flat. A glove should hug the palm gently while allowing your fingers to bend into a fist without seam tension.
