Gloves: open finger, best buy/comfort?!

[Batbike]

In the market for new cycling gloves. Always used PI's, but they keep minimizing the comfort pads and increasing the cost. Myabe they're still good, but wondered what other women are using. Any one have a favorite?!

Thanks!

I just bough a pair of Specialized fingerless gloves which I like. I've had no numbness etc but my longest ride is only 50 mins though so they have not been thouroughly tested yet. The pad thickness and placement seems pretty good but be aware that the pair I am replacing were 15yrs old so my contentment might be something to do with how bad the previous pair was.

I've tried on several dozen different gloves in bike shops, and the only ones I've found to be really comfortable are these:

My hands are pretty small, and the medium fits me well. The smalls were a bit too snug. They hold up well, are well made and have sufficient padding for me.

I appreciate you saying that you liked those gloves because I have been "wondering about them". I have the full finger winter glove version and like them. GLAD you find them comfortable ... good good to know!

Glad it's helpful!
Incidentally, I have read several people who have said that the other style, the PI "Gel-Lite" has very little padding and wasn't cushy enough for them. I like mine so I haven't tried that one and don't plan to. I guess the gel-lite ones would maybe be good for people who only do short rides or for really hot weather or something.

I ordered those gloves! I am sure they will be here within the week -- can't wait to try them!! THANKS for the recommendation!
