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.

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...

Unsure about specific question. Would suggest contacting company making this glove from the information on the details of the item description.

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.

It's one glove that goes on the hand you catch with. I believe this manufacturer sells a pair of well padded batting gloves (for both hands) as 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.

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 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.

It was a lot better than just using bare hands. But as far as shock absorption, I would recommend Under Armour batting gloves. They're the best I've ever used.

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?

Easy.Grab and secure inside the glove or open up your fingers. Which ever is convenient. Hope this helps !!

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.

for driving gloves, in my opinion, you'd want a snug fit in its entirety ...you should be as comfortable w/the glove as you are while driving w/them on ...if you are not, i'd say return'em ...they are superb driving gloves, so check the sizing guide again, remeasure ...reorder.

Be advised that we have try on a batting helmet yet, but I sure it is good for catching on extreme sunny days, and most likely would work on a batting helmet. Just need to try it is the only way you will find out.

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

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.
