Yes, this. I wear full finger Endura mountain bike gloves for the trail, and Gore half-finger gloves on the road. I wouldn't mind some Endura road gloves but they have some strange stuff in the palms, it isn't paddng, per se, but it is odd. My hands swell quite a bit on the road, haven't noticed it on the mountain bike.
