Palm Length
The length of the palm from the wrist to the tip of the longest finger.
PalmLength
How to measure
Application
Used in glove design to size the palm section independently from finger length, ensuring correct glove proportions.
Posture
Hand flat, palm facing upward, fingers straight and together.
Landmark
Measured from the wrist crease to the base crease of the middle finger, not the tip.
Tool
Rigid ruler.
Common mistake
Measuring to the fingertip gives hand length, not palm length. Stop at the base crease of the middle finger.
