I actually discovered by accident that I didn't like the gel-lite gloves...too much padding. I forgot gloves one day and I loved riding without all that padding everywhere. I wasn't all that uncomfortable with them, but was soooo much happier without the padding. I tried on a basic REI pair, but didn't like the fit on my hand. I wound up with a more basic PI pair...white line, I think. Not much padding and I love them. I wished I would have forgotten my gloves a year earlier! I no longer experience any numbness unless I ride a really rough road.
