Size Palm measurement SML 2 7/8" (7.3cm) MED 3 3/8" (8.6cm) LGE 3 3/4" (9.5cm) XL 4 1/4" (10.8cm) Please note: All guards should be checked with your coach before first use to make sure the size is right for you. Guards that have been named, worn or marked can't be exchanged or refunded. Incorrect use of guards may result in serious injury. IMPORTANT WARNING: Replace guards every year, or at the first sign of a tear. If a tear appears, stop using the guards immediately and replace them. The higher the skill level and training hours, the more often guards need replacing. This is for your safety on bars. Never use water on your guards. The leather will harden and can snap. If finger holes are too tight, enlarge them slowly with sandpaper. Never use a knife or scissors, and don't make the holes too big, as the guards can slip off.
