    Well to be candid, I wear full fingered gloves when I mtb. I guess it's the difference in position. I just haven't found a pair that doesn't bother me in one way or another when I road ride.

    Is it the padding or thickness? I wear weight lifting gloves for the road, they are thinner/lighter but just enough (:

    I can't stand ANY padding in gloves. I wear one style now, made by Botranger. They are 40.00, never go on sale, but worth it. You also can't buy them at any discount sites.
    Padding puts my hands in spasms of pain.
