Lacrosse gloves typically come in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large. Small typically measure 10 inches from cuff to finger tip, Mediums measure 12 inches and Large gloves traditionally run 13 inches from top to bottom. Some gloves go even larger, with the RZR, for example, offering an XL, or 14-inch, model.
On the smaller end, gloves can also be found in youth sizes, which are typically an extra-small or 8-inch variety.

Lacrosse gloves are essential protective gear, and their design and features can vary depending on the player's position. Here's a breakdown of the key differences between gloves for field players and goalies:
Field Player Gloves
Prioritize Flexibility and Feel: Field players need gloves that allow for maximum dexterity and ball control.
Moderate Protection: While protection is important, field player gloves prioritize flexibility and a natural feel.
Features:
Flexible materials for ease of movement.
Minimal padding to enhance feel.
Secure wrist straps for a customized fit.
Goalie Gloves
Maximum Protection: Goalies face the highest risk of injury, so their gloves offer significantly more protection.
Thick Padding: Goalies' gloves have thicker padding on the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb to shield against hard shots.
Reinforced Thumb: The thumb is often reinforced with extra padding or a plastic guard to protect against impact.
Extended Cuff: The cuff is longer to protect the wrist and forearm.
