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 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

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.

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 am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

I use the glove on my left hand for knitting. Take hold at the wrist and pull the glove completely inside out (just like turning a sock). Although, the thumb area has "stays" in it, they turn easily with a small adjustment at the end of the thumb compartment. Hope this helps. Marjory Overholt

I bought the gloves just for dh and all mountain riding.I love it. For motorcycle,It's kind of thin.By the way it feels a size smaller than it should be.You may have to order next size bigger.

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 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.

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

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 am afraid the gloves fingers space designed may not be good enough if you have long fingers. However, I read other answers and some people said it would be okay. The pair I bought was little for me. I have short fingers and it did not fit well. My gloves size is 6. I hope this helps you in making your shopping decision.

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?

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

I like the neoprene gloves that completely cover your hands better for a lot of bag work. I use these on the bag but we don't use the bags all the time in our class. I have to hit gently after too much bag work. They are enough support, I just find after too much bag work my knuckles get a little sore. Also, if you have large hands, order up in size. Not sure if this helps you any...:)

I got one with mine. But it didn't really protect my hand all that well... it was a slight protective barrier. Better than not wearing a glove at all.
