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 have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

I think LARGE is your best bet. Its better to have it a little big (if that is the case) than a little small. Too small will rip out the seams quickly. Most of the stress on the gloves is doing Bicep Curls . If my gloves were smaller Im sure I would have all ready rip them.

Regular padding, the ones your asking about are the training gloves, those have less protection on the wrist, but more padding on the knuckle area. Those gloves are for bag and pad work outs.

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.

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.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

Wish I could help you, but I generally wear small/medium size gloves. I'd imagine they would most likely be somewhat too small for you, but if you are closer to the large size, it might work. If you are usually wearing x-large, not so much. Sorry I can't be of further assistance. You may have to look for a good return policy and take a shot in the dark on this one

These are full-fingered gloves. I don't know if they are available as half-fingered gloves

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

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.

The gloves are unisex...you need to go onto Outdoor Research's web page and use the sizing chart they offer...once you measure what they tell you, check the sizing chart and your fit will be perfect...if you've ever burned your hands while out 'n about, these will save you from repeating that...I now have 3 pairs...I always carry one spare pair for the "what~if's"...they are so comfortable that I forget I have them on after my hike...use OR's web sizing chart...

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

The palm of the glove has padding on it that should be thick enough to protect from rose bush thorns. The back side of the hand only has padding on the knuckle area so he would not be completely protected on the backs of his hands.
