i like no pad full finger. i've just picked up a couple pair of Fox Incline for $13 off of performancebike. They are pretty good.
All I know is mine are Specialized half finger, got them cheap. They have a little pad in the thumb palm area and then on the pinky side palm area. SUPER comfortable.
fingerless, and just a little padding. I hate gel
And yes...I did a search. Gloves are like shoes for me comfort and fit wise (I have pretty big hands), so I'll buy them locally as opposed to online. Just wanted to know what you expierenced roadies liked and thought were the most comfy. Thanks (as always) for the input!

So how do they are like socks, just pull on? Mine have velcro for sure.sanjuro said:
Gloves are bad for me. I have yet to find a pair I like. 
I was wearing completely unpadded gloves. I've switched over to the Big-S pro road gloves. Nice pull on, no velcro. No padding really other than the BG padding for the ulnar nerve which i never notice and does seem to help with your hand going numb on long ass rides.
yea that have some that go on without any kind of strap. I like them but i wear out those gloves in like a month. the bike shop kept replacing them but asked me to pick another kind.Heidi said:
I've been using the AXO, now 661, Raja long finger gloves for years.
I've got some Louis Garneau half fingered with some padding = very nice and comfy - so much so that I've been using them off road as well on my rigid Karate Monkey. However I sweat like a mofo and sometimes my grips get pretty slippery without the full fingers to soak up the sweat.
Thanks all! I picked up some of these the other day. I thought they felt a little better than the gels. We'll see....

I like my Specialized gloves, but I buy whatever is on sale. I'm not picky.
I have sweaty palms so gloves helps keep my grips and bar rap dry. Also, if I crash it will offer some protection.bjanga said:
Over the weekend, I re-wrapped my bars with some Specialized BG gel. (basically, you tape the gel onto the top of the bars and the drops, then wrap over the stuff.)
This stuff's great! No more numb hands, even for 3+ hour rides. It was $35 (ouch), but worth every penny considering the nerve damage I'm probably avoiding. (I used to have huge trouble with hand numbness, even for hours after a ride)
