IF239 Half Finger Cycling Gloves Customer reviews:

-I bike a lot and for the past year or so have suffered from tingling/numbness in my fingers and pain in my palms which has been getting worse. I bought ergonomic handle grips for my hybrid bike which helped a bit but not fully. I was using another brand of gel gloves with continued symptoms. Today I tried the Inbike Gel gloves for the first time. I am a size 7.5 glove, and a large as per the inbike sizing recommendations and the gloves fit fine. There were two differences between the inbike glove and my other gel gloves. The first is the gel is softer on this glove. The second is the gel extends across the entire palm. This is opposed to the other gel gloves where there is some gel on the base of the palm with open spaces between them. Today after using the inbikes I realized how important the gel placement is. Because the gel is across the whole palm, the weight of my hand was distributed across a larger area, with the other brand glove the weight is mostly over just the areas where the gel is, causing more pressure over those elevated areas. So with a softer gel and better weight distribution I had no numbness/tingling on a 20 mile ride today for the first time in a while, and my hands felt much better on the handlebars than previously. I had very minor palm pain near the end of the ride, but this was much less than I was getting before and was really more of a minor irritation then a pain, and may be more a reflection of chronic inflammation in my hands than a reflection on the gloves. I wish I had discovered these gloves a few years ago.

Addendum: I liked the short finger gloves so well, I bought the long fingered ones. Same great palm padding, and I can use my cell phone with the gloves on. 5 stars.

-I bike at least an hour every day 6 days a week and had noticed a lot of pain in my hands to the point where it was getting unbearable. I started looking for padded gloves at a decent price and these fit the bill. As most of the other reviews already stated, these run small. I'm a female and my hands are nowhere near 9+ inch palm girth, but the Large gloves fit me well. I could have possibly managed with a medium pair, but would rather have them loose than tight.

These are very comfortable. My hands did sweat a little, but not much. After biking with them both yesterday and today my hands are pain free. I'll probably buy a couple more pairs for back-up.
