Example
Inputs: Glove size = 8 (M). Result: Hand circumference: 203 mm; Minimum hand length: 182 mm; Hand circumference in inches: 7.99 in.
Limits and caveats
- The length figure is a minimum for the glove; real gloves can be longer.
- Letters XS to XXL are common practice, not part of the standard.
