Gloves should fit firmly for more control in stick handling but not so firm so as to inhibit movement. The length of the glove should be so the least amount of unprotected area left between the glove cuff and elbow pad.
To fit properly:
- With the player's forearm bent, measure the distance between the fingertips and the elbow pad.
- Determine the level of play.

The glove's palm should be reasonably thin and pliable. The polyethylene thumb must be protective and flexible. Some models feature double Armadillo caps over the thumb for extra protection and flexibility. The glove's foam padding must be dense.
Gloves which are severely worn and have collapsed foam pads should be replaced.
Gloves should be purchased that fit you properly. Gloves should not be so large that they will inhibit your ability to properly feel the stick, yet so small as to jam your fingertips to the end of the gloves.
