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:
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.
Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying used lacrosse gloves, here's what to look for:
✔️ Ensure there are no visible rips or tears in the glove material. ✔️ Check for any holes in the palm area that could affect grip and durability. ✔️ Inspect the padding for any noticeable compression or flattening. ✔️ Look for loose or frayed stitching, as this can lead to the glove falling apart. ✔️ Check the interior lining for excessive wear or damage. ✔️ Ensure the straps and velcro are in good working condition and still secure the gloves properly. ✔️ Look for excessive dirt or stains that could be difficult to remove.
