I should have been comfortably in the medium and while they did fit returning them and sizing up was definitely the right call

Because the handlebar pushes the curved splint back toward the palm when resting weight on them the thumb hole material pulls tight between the thumb and index finger and fatigues the thumb muscle

Have to try and not flex the thumb muscle and just let the strap dig into the webbing between the thumb and index finger which isnt bad with gloves on
