Wear cycling gloves tight?

[nscrbug]

Remember that gloves are for protection more than comfort. The guy who built my race frame, actually, crashed while tooling around campus without gloves and basically couldn't use his hands for a couple of weeks while the road rash healed.

+1 on this! I've had a few minor crashes, and had I not been wearing gloves...my hands would have been pretty torn up.

I've also tried the Fizik bar gel...not a fan. It feels too "bulky", and increases the diameter of my bars to the point where it's painful for me to wrap my hands around it. I'll stick with my Lizard Skin bar tape.
