Bike gloves

[VeloVT]

I agree with what MP said... If you are genuinely having pain, it's a problem that should be addressed by bike fit/fitness/PT, not gloves. My boyfriend was having hand numbness and his PT traced it to nerve compression in his shoulders, and prescribed some stretches that have helped considerably.

But, I think there is a big difference in preference/need for padding between different people, and if you simply prefer more padding, and it's causing you to go through gloves at an alarming rate, you might think about trying a padded bar wrap instead, like Bar Phat or Aztec Vibewrap or the Fizik gel (though Fizik's gel is probably the least padded option). Or even just try a thicker tape...

Personally I like my unpadded gloves best and I'm fine with thin tape (I don't mind a cushy feel to tape but I don't like the additional thickness of gel wraps or even gel tape), so I don't have any suggestions on that front, but TE has a large selection of gloves, might be worth an email to customer service about which are the cushiest...
