05 / Field guide
A 10.5" (267 mm) hand round the palm is EN size 11 (XXL), a women's 3XL and a XXL exam glove; in golf outside FootJoy’s men’s chart, goalkeeper size 12 and Alpinestars 3XL. Flat, it measures about 110 mm across the knuckles.
EN ISO 21420 sizes are one inch of circumference apart, so a 10.5-inch hand sits halfway between sizes 10 and 11. Unisex work and sports gloves round it to 11 (XXL); makers that sell half sizes (dress leather, goalkeeper, surgical) make a 10.5.
Between two sizes, a tight-fitting glove (exam, golf, race) usually goes to 10, an insulated or lined one to 11.
10.5" × 25.4 = 267 mm round flat width ≈ 267 ÷ 2.42 = 110 mm (men)
A 10.5" hand is above FootJoy’s 2XL band; look for a 3XL or an extended size.
Goalkeeper gloves add an inch: 10.5" rounds to 11 and becomes size 12 (Reusch’s half-size chart: 10.5). Alpinestars’ men’s chart puts 26.7 cm at 3XL. Hestra winter gloves are an 11 bare, 11 over a 1 mm liner.
Boxing gloves at 10.5" are youth sizes (Rival youth 8–10 oz) or below the adult hand bands.
One half size down, 10" is EN 10 and goalie 11. One up, 11" is EN 11 and goalie 12.
