Glove sizing is relatively universal, but it’s important to note that different models within the same brand often have unique fits which may influence your sizing decisions. The Bauer Supreme line, for example, offers a tighter, more anatomical fit compared to the roomier Bauer Nexus gloves. It is important for buyers to do their research to find out which glove will suit them best before making a purchase.

Each year, gear manufacturers send countless pieces of equipment to pro and collegiate players across North America – often, customized to those players' unique specs. Those that aren't used are “returned,” and many end up for sale on SidelineSwap.
