Goalkeeper Glove Size Guide
Use this goalkeeper glove size guide to compare EFAH sizes before ordering. Start with your hand measurements, then check the size options and chart on your chosen product. Children of the same age can have different hand sizes, and the fit can vary between glove models.
How to measure your hands for goalkeeper gloves
- Hand length: measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm, where your hand meets your wrist.
- Hand width: measure straight across your palm from one outer edge to the other. Do not wrap the tape around your hand.
- Measure both hands and note the measurements in centimetres. Compare them with the chart supplied for the model you want.
EFAH hand measurement chart
The figures below reproduce the existing EFAH measurement chart shown in the Atlas Shield gallery. They are estimates, with a stated tolerance of ±0.5 cm, rather than a guarantee of fit. Use the chart shown on your chosen product; Pulse has separate guidance below.
| Glove size | Hand length (cm) | Hand width (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 14 | 6.3–6.8 |
| 4 | 14.5 | 6.5–7.0 |
| 5 | 15 | 7.0–7.5 |
| 6 | 16 | 7.5–8.0 |
| 7 | 17 | 8.0–8.5 |
| 8 | 18 | 8.5–9.0 |
| 9 | 19 | 9.0–9.5 |
| 10 | 20 | 9.5–10.0 |
| 11 | 21 | 10.0–10.5 |

Kids and junior goalkeeper glove sizes
Pulse is available in sizes 2–7, Apex in sizes 3–8 and Storm in sizes 3–7. These ranges include smaller options for junior goalkeepers, alongside some larger sizes. Choose children’s goalkeeper gloves by fit, using age as a starting point only.
The existing Pulse chart suggests size 2 for ages 4–5, size 3 for 5–6, size 4 for 6–9, size 5 for 9–12 and size 6 for 13–15. It labels size 7 as small–medium adult. These are approximate age recommendations, not hand measurements. The chart also mentions size 8, but Pulse is currently offered in sizes 2–7.

Adult goalkeeper glove sizes
Atlas Shield, Rebal and Stealth are offered in sizes 7–11. Apex also offers sizes 7 and 8, while Pulse and Storm include size 7. The junior or adult collection label is a way to browse; your measurements and chosen model determine the fit.

What if I am between sizes?
If your length and width point to different sizes, or you are unsure how a particular cut will feel, contact EFAH SPORTS with the model name and both measurements before ordering. Do not assume your size in another brand will fit identically.
Check the fit before using your gloves
Try the gloves on indoors with clean, dry hands. Check that you can move your fingers comfortably and adjust the wrist fastening without discomfort. Keep any protective palm film in place until you have checked the fit and decided to keep them. Read the shipping and returns policy before removing the film or using your gloves.
