What's the deal? This video shows knuckle measurement going around the whole hand in a circle but your sizing chart on the glove description appears to only go up to 4.25 inches for an XL. My hand when measured like the video is 8 3/4 inches, I do not have XXL size hands, do I divide by 2?

The video measures the circumference of the hand, but....

...the size charts on the product pages measure the width of the hand, which is not 1/2 the circumference because it doesn't take into account the thickness of the hand (which is significant).

Buying gloves I have always been a stickler for over the cuff because of the requirement of taking them off every run to unzip and show pass. I hope I like my new under the cuffs...
