Why Padding Matters More Than It Sounds
These are breathable half-finger cycling gloves for men and women, priced at $31.50 in sizes M, L and XL. They use a shock-absorbing palm pad over a non-woven polyester build, with an anti-slip grip surface. The padding sits over the ulnar side of the palm – the area that carries most of your weight on the bars and where sustained pressure causes the hand numbness and tingling riders call handlebar palsy.
Key Benefits
- Shock-absorbing palm pad. Cushions road buzz and spreads the pressure that otherwise concentrates on the nerves running through the base of the palm.
- Anti-slip grip. Keeps your hold on the bars when your hands are sweaty.
- Breathable. Polyester construction that vents rather than trapping heat.
- Half-finger cut. Full dexterity for gear levers, phone screens and zippers.
- Unisex, M–XL. One black colorway.
How to Use
- Choose a size that is snug across the palm with no bunching – a loose glove slides and the padding stops sitting where it should.
- Position the palm pad over the fleshy base of the hand before you grip the bars.
- Change hand position on the bars regularly on long rides. Gloves reduce pressure; they do not eliminate it.
- Rinse or wash after sweaty rides – salt is what stiffens a glove over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do cycling gloves stop hand numbness?
They help. Numbness on the bike comes from sustained pressure on the ulnar and median nerves at the base of the palm. Padding spreads that load, but you also need to change hand position regularly and check your bike fit.
What size cycling gloves should I get?
Measure across the widest part of your palm, excluding the thumb. The glove should be snug with no loose fabric bunching in the palm – bunched fabric moves the padding off the spot it is meant to protect.
Can I use these in the gym?
Yes. The same palm padding and anti-slip grip work for barbell and dumbbell training, and the half-finger cut keeps your grip feel intact.
Are they good for hot weather?
That is what they are built for. The half-finger cut and breathable polyester vent heat, which is why summer riders choose them over full-finger gloves.
Are they unisex?
Yes – sized M through XL for both men and women. If you are between sizes, size down for a firmer grip feel.
