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 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 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.

I haven't used it yet in anything over 80 deg F yet. I've always used a batting glove in my mitt, so I haven't noticed much difference. There does seem to be a little slippage after warming up but I have yet to adjust my glove yet to see if that helps. I'll let you know when it gets hotter outside. 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.

I use a medium in biking gloves and the women's regular yoga paws fit snuggly and well. Love them by the way. They don't hurt between fingers when you do the downward poses.

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 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.

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.

The description claimed one size fits all......not so. I wear a size 7 glove and I could not get the glove over my palm. My adult niece tried them and she had the same problem. As I said in my review the gloves might fit a child.

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.

I do a lot of push ups. Like the knuckle push up as it protects my wrist. Can't use these gloves. Padding is insufficient. Good for weights. Good enough anyway. Padding lacks

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

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.

I have used them with a touchscreen phone, but that isn't their intended use, and so it's kind of hit-or-miss. I wouldn't buy them expecting to use them for a touchscreen, when there are other gloves designed for that purpose that work very well, every time.

Having nothing else to base my decision I used my glove size. L. Although I think the xl would have worked well too. Imo I think it is better to go bigger than smaller. I would think it depends on the type of riding you do.

Hi MatthewI take an x-large glove. My hand measures 8" from the base of my palm to end of my middle finger. (base of palm is where my hand hinges at my wrist). My glove is 9.5" overall. The glove fits very nicely with not too much play but not too tight.Hope this helps.PS: These are my husbands gloves, not mine.
