3 Steps to Find the Right Size LEVEL Gloves

1. Measure your hand two different ways (blue and red lines), as shown below. Measure your hand length (the blue line) from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm.  Then, measure the circumference of your hand (the red line) at the base of your knuckles (not including your thumb).

2. Use the two measurements to determine the size using the table below. If the two resulting sizes are different, order the larger size. Typical sizes range from 7-10 inches, unless you have very small or very large hands.

The "Ski Thumb" is an injury affecting the UCL at the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb

In skiing, thumb injuries are reported to be the second most frequent injury after the knee. Thumb injuries are between 5% – 20% of all injuries in Alpine skiing and are sustained by approximately 80,000-240,000 patients per year world wide.

Thumb injuries are due to the forces applied when a skier falls with the pole in his/her hand. The handle of the pole will act as a fulcrum applying forces across the joint and thereby putting the ligament under strain.

Ski Thumb Injury - how it happens

The skier hits the surface with high velocity (high energy trauma). If the hand is stretched out as a natural reflex, there is a significant chance that the thumb will be forced outwards resulting in an injury to the UCL.

  • ERGONOMIC SHAPE Guarantees fit and comfort.
  • SIDE BUCKLE Strong adjustable closing system.
  • THUMB POCKET Holds thumb in place.
