Sorry for the short hijack - Murieen - would you mind sending me a picture of these gloves and let me know what they are? I've given up on most women's gloves as they seem to have too much padding and in the wrong place. Found a great pair of men's Gore fingerless gloves, but these sound like they would be good to have if they come small enough.

Nscrbug - I hope you are able to solve your hand issues soon. My hands will now allow me to use road bars at all - can't handle any weight on them with the arthritis in my palms. I can't add anything more constructive than to be supportive, but I CAN do that
