Copper compression gloves come in two styles. Here's how fingerless and full finger gloves differ, who each one suits, and how to find your size.

Copper compression gloves are one of the most searched comfort products for hands, and they come in two main styles: fingerless and full finger. Both give gentle, even compression across the hand and wrist. The difference is how much of your fingers they cover, and that changes when and where you'll wear them.

Fingerless copper compression gloves

Fingerless compression gloves cover the palm, knuckles and wrist but leave your fingertips open. That keeps your sense of touch and grip, so you can:

• Type and use a phone or touchscreen
• Knit, sew, paint or do other fine handwork
• Garden, cook and handle tools

Choose fingerless if you want to wear your gloves during the day while you work, or you find full coverage too warm.

Full finger copper compression gloves

Full finger compression gloves wrap every finger, the palm and the wrist. They're a favorite for:

• Overnight wear
• Cold mornings and chilly homes or offices
• Anyone who wants compression all the way to the fingertips

Choose full finger if you mainly want gloves for sleep or for relaxing at home.

Are copper gloves good for arthritis?

Many people with stiff or achy hands, including people with arthritis, wear compression gloves because the gentle, even pressure feels comfortable and warm. Research on copper itself is limited. What most people notice is the compression and the snug fit. Compression gloves are a comfort product, not a treatment, so talk with your doctor about ongoing joint pain.

How to find your glove size

Measure around your palm with a soft tape measure and compare it to the chart on the product page, or see our Copper Joe size guide. A good fit feels snug but never pinches or leaves deep marks.
