why all biking gloves don't cover the whole finger? just the palm? can I use a batting glove for biking?

In my humble opinion perhaps cyclist prefer the dexterity of a bare finger for shifting gears? I have used batting gloves for cycling when it's colder, they worked but it was a short ride & my handle bars are padded. My batting gloves do not have padding like my cycling gloves so for long distances it wouldn't work for me...my understanding of the main purpose of cycling gloves is extra padding on your palms for those long distance rides not warmth. Hope this helps, again this are just my thoughts. Happy cycling!

You can get full fingered cycling gloves, but those are normally for cold weather riding. The fingerless gloves allow for better air flow in warmer weather. As for using batting gloves, you can use whatever is most comfortable for you. But, cycling gloves provide padding for the pressure points of your hands for the different grips on the handlebars. There are many different pad patterns and thickness so, again whatever is most comfortable for you.

Hi, these gloves are rather large especially for a woman but I think they would fit a man's hands just fine. Although they are rather "large" I have not had any problem using them and they have not "slipped" off during use. So for me, the "one size fits all" has not been a problem. So much better than "pot holders" or those finger less mitts.

I haven't used it yet in anything over 80 deg F yet. I've always used a batting glove in my mitt, so I haven't noticed much difference. There does seem to be a little slippage after warming up but I have yet to adjust my glove yet to see if that helps. I'll let you know when it gets hotter outside. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem and find that fingerless gloves work better. Yes, fingertips can get cold, but they warm faster than whole hands.

Hey bro!Look, Thor gloves are for mountain bike training. If you want to but gloves for motorcycle you should go to specialized shops. I hope my answer will help you. Best regards. Allan

I normally would go with a medium glove, but the large is fine, as I did not want skin tight garden gloves. Plenty of room for the fingers, but am still able to grip pruners, etc., without any problem and still pick up cut pieces of plants from the ground. Gauntlet extends nearly to my elbow, which is what I wanted.

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

I can't answer your specific question, but here's what I found: My hand measures 8 3/4 inches around the knuckles and I ordered the Large Size. They were too large, so measure your hands around the knuckles, and unless they are perhaps 9 inches or more, order the Small. Don't you wish glove manufacturers would give some specific size recommendations using actual measurements? After all, sizes such as Large, Small, Medium mean nothing at all.

No. They are just average batting gloves. If ur looking for shock reduction look for turboslots they actually have a small pad inside the thumb grove.

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

My wife wears a women's XS to S glove. She's 5' tall. She really likes the product and has no problem with the fit and ability to use the mitts. Obviously, with a one size fits all product, your fingers won't reach the end of the mitt but you aren't trying to pick up coins and the aim isn't to have delicate dexterity - just enough to be able to grab and handle baking sheets, pots and pans. I have short fingers and feel confident using the mitts.

I'm a 6' adult and actually order at least 3 pairs of batting gloves per season. I order XL and love Rawlings when it comes to their batting gloves. Hope this helps.

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdf http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdf Their guides were very accurate in my experience. Btw: I really like these gloves. Good quality. The pads are positioned properly and will prevent numb hands.

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wonder if they've changed the way the make the gloves. That would be disappointing.

I typically wear a medium size glove but with these I went to a large size because the fingers are so well padded that it still fits snugly. I wear these as a safety item as well as for warmth. If my hand was to strike the ground I want some cushioning between it and the asphalt.

Joe,I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.
