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 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 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.

I have large hands and the gloves were snug when I got them but stretched to a comfortable fit, so you may try them and see if they snug. Since they are on Amazon Prime, it is no trouble to return them, but I don't think you will. Get the 23 inch size as it provides protection up to the elbow which no other glove has done before and it was needed. I have used them for yard work and moving concrete blocks and patio stones and I rate these 5 Stars for endurance and protection.

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 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.

Sorry... The gloves fall right on top of the knuckles and it covers them a bit. They leave your fingers exposed.

No... Don't ride a bike, but these gloves don't look thin enough to go under anything. They are so great, you don't need a liner. Wore them in the Arctic (-15 C) and fingers were oh so warm

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

No, these are more of a mechanic glove. As a landscaper I find the best glove to protect against thorny plants is a simple mesh weaved glove with the rubber coated palms.

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

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.

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 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.

They are similar to fingerless gloves at the hand. However, the holes are not the standard 4 finger and thumb you would expect from gloves. The index finger and thumb have individual holes, but the rest of the fingers all share the same hole. I can't imagine why you'd need mitts with these, but if you do make sure this won't be an issue.

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!!!!!!!!
