I wear these to protect my delicate palms.

I never write reviews but these gloves begged for one. I first have to mention I have been through 10 pairs of gloves from highly rated companies in the road biking industry and they make my hands go numb after 5 - 10 miles and then every 5 miles after that. I have to constantly shake them out and pump my arm at the elbow which makes for a miserable ride. These came recommended from another local road biker so I said what the heck the worst that could happen would be another pair of gloves added to the collection of useless gloves with even more useless padding. I went on a ride and I couldn't believe the numbness was gone! The Dr who designed these is a pure genius!!! They work like nothing else out there on the market. Don't walk run and get these gloves your rides will be much more enjoyable, comfortable, and your hands will thank you. I can't say enough about these gloves other than ""HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"" Deal of the century!!! I just bought the full finger version. They seriously should be called the 'HOLY GRAIL"" Wow!! 10 Stars!!!
