    Oh! Is that why I get that glob of extra fabric in some gloves? I always assumed that it's because my digits are longer than normal. So I'm in trouble either way- men's gloves are often too wide and have the thumb in the wrong spot, and the fingers are too short in women's gloves

    I'll read those articles more closely tonight- they look interesting. Thanks for sharing!

    I'm same as you, Becky. If they fit my fingers/palm they are huge in the wrist for women's gloves. Men's gloves just fit funny all around.

    I have a pair of the PI cyclones and I think they're really warm but they might be more padded and stiff than you'd want for a road bike, Oak.

    I also have the PI Cyclones and they're a little stiff. I also get a bit of extra fabric along the length of my thumb, but I'm betting that's because I have really skinny fingers.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I have a pair of these from REI (though mine are different and have 4 fingers). They are very nice, not bulky or stiff, come in a women's size, and keep my hands warm down to about 40 degrees. Just got a pair of PI Barrier Lobster gloves for temps around freezing.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
