XL = about 4" across the top of the knuckles
It's always a crap shoot ordering footwear, gloves and other clothing items online. So, it's best to give some dimensions as a point of reference.My hand is 4" across the top of the knuckles and just over 10.75" in circumference at their widest point with the thumb tucked under as it is when you put gloves on. From the end of my wrist to the end of the longest (middle) finger is 7.5". These gloves are 11" long from the middle finger to the wrist end. They feel like they're not going to fit at first try because you'll have to pull hard to get them on. But, once your fingers are in place you know they'll be fine.Also, these are contoured in two directions. When your hand is laterally at rest, it has a natural arc from wrist to ends of fingers. The gloves are molded to that arc. The other contour is another lateral arc that runs from the outer/bottom edge of the hand (as you're looking at the palm) up toward the elbow. The gloves are also molded this way. They're very comfortable.I can't imagine these gloves being any thicker than 3mm without being entirely too cumbersome. Of course, that would depend on what function they serve. For example, these would work ok for metal detecting on a beach where a 5 or 7mm glove would be awkward. 'Might want a thicker glove snorkeling or scuba diving among rocks or wrecks?

seams are NOT water tight
seams are clearly NOT waterproof, unlike the 100% guarantee they claim! (glue and blind stitched - well sort off). I ordered these because my other gloves let water in too easily at the very poor stitching, and hoped those would keep me warmer with less water exchange for cold water diving but I just tried them in my pool (with cuff opening out of the water) and could feel the water come in and getting wet. So much for 100% seals... might still be warmer than mine, so I'll give them a shot, but disappointed even if they were inexpensive.Update: dove 10 times on them now. they are glue and 'blind' stitched but due to poor workmanship many stitch go though making the seams leak. I ended up getting some Aquaseal and doing 2 layers to prevent seam leaks, which works a lot better, BUT now I see the neoprene itself is leaking little bubbles everywhere! never seen new neoprene not be watertight. May need to look elsewhere as they are not that warm (vs my drysuit which is fantastic)

Very nice gloves. Medium fits like medium.
These are surprisingly nice for the price. They fit great and have a nice and obviously contoured form. These have a wonderful grip that I think would be perfect surfing, though I bought them for fishing.They do fit larger than I expected but I should explain that I usually will buy a size large if I'm buying leather utility gloves because I just always feel like they bind up if I wear a medium. By that I mean my fingers can't move freely, especially with my palm planted on a surface. I got these in a medium thinking they should be snug but also because I'm planning on cutting off the fingers. Honestly though I'm picky about my fingers range of movement and my hands are really medium size and I'm surprised at how well these fit.

NOT Waterproof Gloves
I really don't understand how these could be marketed as scuba gloves. I've never went scuba diving but I assume that the water is fairly cold and that you would want your gloves to repel the water, not soak it up. While the gloves do manage to keep my hands fairly warm even while soaked I would not recommend these gloves to anyone who works in cold water like I do. I know that I'm going to end up using these as an insulator inside a pair of rubber mittens to keep my hands warm this winter.Other notes are that the gloves do give an excellent grip, which is the number one reason I'm not returning them. They also fit me very well, but if my hands were any bigger I think I would have trouble.

Great for Rain / Cold
I actually bought these for wearing at Buffalo Bills Games in the Rain/Snow. Havent tried them in the snow yet, but did wear them for a rainy game and they worked great. They kept my hands dry and warm enough. I would have to wear my big mittens over them if It was really cold (under 30 degrees) out but when it was in the low 40's and cold rain I was fine. I have Raynauds so my hands get cold very easily, especially if they are wet and these gloves did the trick. I also like that they come pretty far up my wrists so I can pull my jacket sleeves over them!

Comfortable...
These are very comfortable, and you can't really beat the price. The stitching is top-notch, and has held up great so far. The palm grips are a nice bonus.Hyperflex is all over the place with their sizing. I wear size medium T-shirts, a size 11 shoe, and large leather gloves and winter gloves. However, after a couple of returns, I fit properly into a size large Hyperflex Access Wetsuit, size 9 Hyperflex booties, and Medium Hyperflex gloves.Now that I figured out that their wetsuits are too small, and their booties and gloves are too big, I couldn't be happier with the actual quality of the products, especially for the price. And Amazon, as always, was extremely accomodating with returns.If only I knew what size hoodie to get...

just what i needed
I have used these twice ... in combination with 3mm boots and a 3/2 wetsuit. The lake had recently thawed with air temps below freezing at night and in the mid-40s as a daytime high. My hands did get slightly cold, but only after 2hrs in the water.I am using these for kiteboarding. The grip is excellent for holding the control bar, but not too abrasive to cause any damage to it. The gloves are not bulky at all, I do need to take the gloves off to connect and disconnect my kite lines. That is to be expected though.While I don't have any hand measurements to post, I wear Medium in most winter gloves, and these seem to fit the same.

Good for Diving (?) not so Great for Surfing
These gloves might be good for scuba diving where there is less wear and tear involved but they don't hold up well for surfing. I had them for 4 months before they literally fell apart. The front of my left glove completely detached and the right one has a a couple holes too that are growing. I am now buying a new pair and wish I had invested in a serious surfing pair in the first place.
