Using gauge correctly when comparing gloves
- Gauge refers to the number of needles per inch, equivalent to 25,4 millimetres. A higher number indicates a finer knitted structure.
- A finer knit often means a thinner glove and more precise handling. However, the fibre, yarn and coating can change this impression; the finished glove is what matters.
- A lower gauge does not prove cold protection, and a higher gauge does not prove cut protection. Compare these properties using their own supporting evidence.
Selection example
For sorting small, non-hazardous sample parts, you have a choice of a 13-gauge and an 18-gauge glove with the other required properties. The finer construction is a sensible candidate for a handling comparison. If its coating or finger length still gets in the way, the higher gauge does not automatically win; choose the version that handles well and fits.
If protection against an additional hazard such as sharp edges or contact with substances is required, establish this before comparing comfort. Cotton names a fibre, while knitted describes a construction: they are therefore not equivalent alternatives when comparing materials.
