Oops, my bad. I confused the PI Gel-Lite with the Gel-Vent Pro. I've tried on and didn't like the former and wear and like the latter.
Here's a link to the ones I wear:

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

sizing?
I'm lost on the whole sizing thing. If something runs small, is that in general terms or compared to what they have in their own size chart? I measured my hands so that I could look for new gloves for the spring. It measures 7.5. I've been comparing the PI Pittards with Specialized Pro-gel. I decided to order the PI's in the medium and see how they fit. My artist hands are rather knotty and everything I try on pulls in between the fingers.
Getting ready for a nice Saturday ride...

I have fairly small hands. I like the Specialized gloves with the ulnar nerve pads.

Gloves are tricky to size, and it's best to try them on in person. I tend to fall between sizes for a lot of things. Sometimes when I order stuff over the internet, I'll place an order with more than one item (gloves and a pair of tights maybe) and I'll order the gloves in both small and medium, and I'll order the tights in both medium and large (oops there's that pear shape!). Then I'll just pay the extra shipping to return the items that don't fit right. Return shipping can go parcel post, which is pretty cheap, and you can get delivery conformation cheap too.

timing is everything
This thread came just in time. It'll be riding season after work when we switch to DST in a week. Too soon for DST if you ask me, but we digress.
One of my biking "successes" was pinching my ulnar nerve in my hand... So ladies - how are those pads in the Specialized? Especially when I ride in my drops. Somehow my hand placement in my drops puts pressure on the nerve in my hand. I've been using PI gel-lites and would like something different. Since they were the gloves that "allowed" the pinched nerve.
Riding the levee (most riding in the near future), my hands don't get beat up too much, but when we start the MS training rides on roads, I'll need better gloves.Beth
