How to Measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with a soft tape measure, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Wear a thin layer (like a t-shirt) for accuracy.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, typically at the level of your navel. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight.
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
- Sleeve Length (for long-sleeved items): Measure from the back of your neck, across the shoulder, down the outer arm to your wrist bone with your arm slightly bent.
- Inseam (for trousers): Measure from the inside of your thigh down to your ankle bone while standing barefoot.
- Shoe Size: Measure your foot length in centimetres by standing on a flat surface with your heel against a wall and measuring to the tip of your longest toe. Measure both feet, as they may differ slightly.

Product-Specific Guidance
Batting Gloves
Gunn and Moore batting gloves are sized by hand circumference. To determine your size, measure around the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) with your fingers together. Gloves should fit snugly without restricting movement. Senior sizes typically range from Small to XXL, whilst junior ranges accommodate younger players. Ensure adequate padding coverage over the back of the hand and fingers for optimal protection against fast bowling.
Batting Pads
Cricket pads are generally sized by height and age rather than standard clothing sizes. Measure your inseam from the inside of your thigh to the top of your ankle bone. Senior pads are available in Short, Regular, and Long lengths. Junior pads come in age-appropriate sizes (typically 5–14 years). Proper fit is critical: the knee roll should align with your knee cap, and the pads should not restrict movement when batting or running between wickets.
Protective Helmets
Batting helmets are sized by head circumference. Measure around the widest part of your head, just above your eyebrows. Gunn and Moore helmets typically come in Small (52–55 cm), Medium (55–58 cm), and Large (58–61 cm). A properly fitting helmet should sit level on your head without shifting during movement. Always ensure the grill is positioned to protect your face adequately without obstructing vision.
Cricket Shoes (Batting & Bowling)
Gunn and Moore cricket shoes are available in both men's and women's fits. Use the footwear size chart above as a guide; always measure your foot length in the evening when slightly swollen for the most accurate fit. Cricket shoes should offer firm ankle support and secure lacing. If you fall between sizes, consider the type of surface: for softer pitches, choose the smaller size; for harder grounds, opt for the larger size to reduce foot fatigue.
Playing Whites & Cricket Clothing
Gunn and Moore playing whites include shirts, trousers, and sweaters tailored to cricket specifications. Refer to the men's and women's clothing charts above. Trousers should sit comfortably at the waist and break slightly over your cricket shoes. Long-sleeved shirts provide sun protection; ensure sleeves reach your wrist when your arms are at rest. Allow 1–2 inches of ease around the chest and waist for freedom of movement in the field. Always check individual product care instructions, as some whites require specialist laundering.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the evening: Feet swell throughout the day, so measure for cricket shoes later in the day to ensure an accurate fit that accounts for natural foot expansion during play.
- Wear cricket-specific socks: Cricket socks are thicker than everyday socks. When trying on cricket shoes, wear the socks you'll use during matches to ensure the fit is correct and blister-free.
- Account for protective layering: When sizing batting gloves and pads, remember they will be worn over inner sleeves and underwear. Ensure there is adequate room without excessive looseness that could impede mobility.
- Check brand-specific measurements: Different manufacturers use slightly different sizing standards. Always consult the product page for individual item dimensions before ordering, as cut and fit can vary between glove styles, pad shapes, and helmet models.
- Consider playing conditions: If you primarily play on wet or heavy pitches, you may prefer footwear a half-size larger for added comfort during extended innings. Conversely, hard, dry grounds may feel more secure in your true size.
- Verify helmet cage size: Helmet sizing is not solely based on head circumference. Verify that the grill opening accommodates your face shape comfortably and provides adequate front and side protection without creating blind spots.
- Junior sizing grows with age: Children's cricket equipment is designed to last one or two seasons. When purchasing junior pads, gloves, or shoes, choose the correct size for current height and build; do not size up significantly, as loose protective gear reduces protection and comfort.
