Tell me about your favorite gloves...

I LOVE these gloves! There really isn't much padding, but the grippy surface is fantastic! The men's small fit me fine.

I found a pair of long-fingered mountain bike gloves from my LBS that just has a tiny patch of padding on the outside/upper portion of the palm. They jury is out whether they will fit me or not, and they are $60...sadly I've expensive tastes and a beer budget

They ordered them for me and we will see if they fit - if they do will put them on layaway... I suspect they won't fit though, I've long fingers and slender/narrowish hands & have yet to find a pair of long-fingered gloves for mtb where the fingers are long enough without bunching in the palm area. I didn't START looking at the $$$ gloves.

Well...I'm back to using a new pair of women's Spenco Ironman Elite T.2 cycling gloves.

Several of my male biking buddies have the Ironman gloves and just LOVE them. I have PI's which I think are fine, but have nothing to compare them with as that's all I've ever had. Next time I'll give the Ironmans a try.

Here they are, my favorite gloves! Like a second layer of skin that you can't even tell they are on, but they for the trick! Hands are no longer sore after long ride http://www.pearlizumi.com/publish/co...Code-8602.html

Gloves are like saddles, really a very personal choice. I love these Sugoi Betty gloves. Very thin padding, good protection between the thumb and first finger, fits well. Also nice and red like my bike. I also like the more thinly padded LG gloves, and my Terry Euro gloves.

Gloves like the Specialized, which I also have (I must have 10 pairs of road gloves) and Perl Izumi have lumpy hard padding that I don't find comfortable.

I used to have Spenco gloves and miss them dearly. They were from the early 90s and were very thinly padded-not lumpy- and I loved them. But they were stolen out of my truck with most my cycling accessories when it was broken into many years ago. Their new stuff is way too lumpy and thick for me.

For mountain bikes, it's FOX FOX FOX full finger gloves.

It's really intriguing how few duplicate faves I'm seeing. Wow.

I have no idea what brand my half fingered gloves are, except I got them several yrs. ago from REI when we were in the U.S.

I buy stuff and stockpile them abit.

I like them because.....I don't notice them and my hands feel just right in them. Not binding, not too bumpy with too much padding.

Has a white tree silhouette with branches, on the hand part, which looks quietly stylish. Black, grey overall glove colour with some white.

I tend to buy all my gloves now, just a shade bigger, not extra small. Just so that when I get hot, I won't be struggling to get gloves off my slightly swollen fingers due to heat.

I love my Shebeest gloves. They are super comfy and they wash and wear well. The little microfiber cloth across the thumb also seems larger than on my PI gloves and it makes it a little easier to wipe your nose and the sweat from your eyes. TE used to have them in black & white too - I have the white version - but the link is for the pink and blue ones.

I'm leaning toward these, right now. What do you think of the fit? I found some reviews online that suggested that they might run a hair small. Have you ever worn the PI Gel Vent gloves? I thought those ran small, too, but they stretch and I'm wishing I'd gone with mediums of those, instead of larges.

I really like the Specialized gloves. They make them with gel for more padding or just regular. I actually like the ones with the gel. Although I have small hands I take a medium in these and I get a few seasons out of them.

Would you happen to know exactly which LG glove this is? Thanks!

[ArgyleDinosaur]

I wear Bontragers because they don't have much in the way of padding and I find that they tend to run small and it's hard to find gloves that can fit my small, puny fingers.

Well, it's an older model, but closest to the Nimbus in how the palm looks. I've had mine for a few years and alternate between it and the Sugoi.
