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.

I don't use the gloves for sunburn protection but for protection from a sun allergy that affects that backs of my hands. That being said, I have not experienced any sunburn on the tips of my fingers while wearing the gloves.

It appears to be designed for right hand use. If I try and put my left hand in the glove the nubs will be on the back of my hand. So, of course a left handed person could use the glove, but on your right hand.

I'm not sure how they will hold up to the wind. From my experience in ~40F temps they keep my hands warm even when wet. My gloves are not waterproof and I work outside so when it is raining my hands do get wet but they stay warm. I am not sure how they would do cycling if you aren't moving your hands much if you are prone to cold hands like myself. Also the palm of the gloves is made of little grip "diamonds". They seem to be glued on but have held up so far. I have only had the gloves for a few months and don't use them every day. Hope I helped.

I use them as is; without anything else worn inside or outside of the glove. Some people use them inside boxing gloves. However, you will need to go up a size with the boxing glove to accommodate for wearing these inside the glove. There is quite a bit of gel padding on the top and around fingers.

Hi! Yes the heat goes all the way to the fingers. My whole hand is warm except palm. It's mainly top of glove and finger tips. It feels really good. I don't have any other heated gear and I'm still riding in Philly/Jersey area.

You should buy a left handed glove in you're right handed. In fact, several sites make this clear in their product photographs ...

I don't know and had the same question when I bought mine. I just made thebest guess I could for a size that would be warm and fit inside my gloves, whosesizes I know. p.s. It worked.

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.

Hi Andrew. This is a glove that anybody can use. I bought it to play the infield but it was actually a little bit too big for the infield, for me anyway, and I have a big hand. So I used it to play the outfield, first base, and pitch. Once you break it in it has a very nice feel to it. Good luck.

I would say the padding between the thumb and index finger is about average. If you are lifting quite a heavy weight and need thick padding I might opt for the men's glove you referred to.

I got medium. Measuring between my index and middle finger (please excuse example!), my middle finger is 3.25 inches long. The glove's middle finger measures about the same. The thumb could be longer, but the fingers fit perfectly, so I wouldn't want larger.

Funny you should ask... We were bike riding last weekend and stopped at a playground, my son kept his gloves on and seemed to do quite well climbing on everything in sight. These gloves are not padded, which is why I like them for small hands.

I have average size hands and I selected the Large. I don't see any advantage to a smaller size as I don't ride (I ride on the road) with a death grip on the bars anyway. I usually ride with my palms on the flat and a loose grip.I notice that the Large is all that's showing as available now anyway.

I purchased these for Christmas and just tried them on. I have thin and long fingers and I am typically a size 7 or medium woman's glove. I have room in my fingers for growth/length, but the bottom (before the cuff) barely covers my palm, so I would say they seem a little short. The cuffs have no moisture so if you have long hands they may not be fully covered with moisture and the tighter cuff could be on your palm. There is growth room in the body though from a width perspective.

I ordered these gloves in a medium size and they fit perfectly. I never buy "fits all", because they're always too large.These gloves cover mid way up my arm, which is ideal when gardening in Texas soil, where red ants are common.
