MTB gloves - full or half finger

[cbcbd]

I have both. I have been using the fingerless for XC, around town... full fingered for those special moments with the MTB

Full I find are not much hotter... a little, but not much. The only time full fingered annoyed me was, like Greg, when I had to do something that took dexterity and handling of slippery items - like when changing a flat. With fingerless I could keep them on, but with full fingered I have to take them off cuz tools just feel slipperier and its just annoying...

actually, my glove, the 661 Raji glove, is one of their lighter ones... very airy... prob why it feels nice and cool.

I could see wanting to take them off to do something like change a flat.

I have the Descente XC Glove, which doesn't look nearly as airy as the Raji. My hands sweat either way when I'm riding. I haven't noticed any difference really. Of course I've only used them twice and it wasn't particularly hot either time.

i sweat like a hog so i use the half finger until it gets too cold - its not that the full finger are hotter, i just don't like the feeling of the soaked full finger gloves. right now my gloves are sooooo rank!

I've never seen such a bunch of girls in my life.
Half finger gloves, thank you!

I do like full finger gloves under certain circumstances, but ptard style is the way to go for hot summer days.
If you can't take a few scrapes and scratches on your hands, then ............oh, never mind. I'll go talk to my gal pals. They don't mind a few boo boo's.

I'll tell all your wives that you worry about your hands and would like a manicure for christmas.
