    Not ridiculous at all! This same thing happened to me. When I first started wearing biking gloves, I closed the velcro at the wrist in a logical way- not tight at all, just pleasantly snug. My hands kept going numb. As I experimented, I found that I really had to close the velcro so that it left a bit of a loose gap. When I closed it snugly AT ALL, my hands went numb again. The gloves are snug enough on my hands not to really need the velcro closures anyway (you know how hard it is to pull biking gloves off!), but I began closing them as loosely as I possibly can and the numbness disappeared.
