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.

left, the glove goes on your catching hand. My son, a left handed thower got both and used them as batting groves, particularly in the cold.

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.

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.

My hand circumference is 8" to 8 and 1/2" (latter with the thumb), and I ordered a medium. I focus on length more than width, in which the medium worked well for my 7" length middle finger. They are pretty true to glove size. I wear medium sized gloves. I hope this helps to answer your question.

I ordered mine for riding my motorcycle, and I'm going to say they do run true to size. I have thick fingers, so I wanted to make sure they weren't pinched. The finger may end up a little longer, but that's the way it goes. I would agree with LeRox's answer, regarding going one size down if you need to be able to pick up parts without taking the gloves off. Just decide what you're going to use them for the most & go by that.

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.

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

The 12 oz. would be the way to go. Not only because of having larger hands, but also as a beginner, I feel it will protect your knuckles better than lesser oz. gloves. Hope this helps.

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

I have large hands as well. My adult son and husband have bigger hands. The Ove glove with steam protection is plenty big for any of us. However it is stretchy enough that it doesn't slip off my hand. Recommend you get one for each hand as I use both regularly. I love mine and wouldn't want to be wi th out them.

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?

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.

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