A 10" (254 mm) hand round the palm is EN size 10 (XL), a women's XXL and a XL exam glove; in golf outside FootJoy’s men’s chart, goalkeeper size 11 and Alpinestars 3XL. Flat, it measures about 105 mm across the knuckles.
EN ISO 21420 sizes are one inch of circumference apart, so a 10-inch hand is exactly size 10: the table’s 254 mm reference with a typical length of 204 mm.
Size 10 is XL on unisex lines and XXL on women’s lines, which are cut a letter smaller for the same hand.
10" × 25.4 = 254 mm round flat width ≈ 254 ÷ 2.42 = 105 mm (men)
A 10" hand is above FootJoy’s 2XL band; look for a 3XL or an extended size.
Goalkeeper gloves add an inch: 10" rounds to 10 and becomes size 11 (Reusch’s half-size chart: 10). Alpinestars’ men’s chart puts 25.4 cm at 3XL, on the edge of a band: try both. Hestra winter gloves are a 10 bare, 10 over a 1 mm liner.
Boxing gloves at 10" are youth sizes (Rival youth 8–10 oz) or below the adult hand bands.
One half size down, 9.5" is EN 9 and goalie 11. One up, 10.5" is EN 11 and goalie 12.
