5 Best Fingerless Cycling Gloves: Expert Picks for Comfort

Customer Review: One thing I like about these gloves is the light padding. All too often, I see cycling gloves with WAY too much “gel” padding. This thick padding can put pressure on the nerves in your wrist and cut off the blood supply or cause your hands to go numb. I cycle about 7,000 miles per year racing/riding. Some of the rides I do are over 150 miles in one day. I have even taken part in some ultra long distance races over 200 miles in less than 10 hours. When you are spending that much time in the saddle, comfort is everything!! You can’t afford to be constantly dealing with tingling in your hands or worse… numbness. I am happy to say that these gloves have been remarkable. They are VERY comfortable on those long rides. If you are having trouble with your hands going numb, I would recommend first consulting with a bike fitter to make sure your body and bike geometry are in sync with each other BEFORE buys thick gel gloves. Gloves like this pair work great! Even if you get these gloves and your hands are still numb… then consult an expert fitter to make sure you have the proper stem, saddle, bars, etc..etc.. . That being said, these gloves are great! They are light weight and good for those summer months. The top material is a little lighter than what I prefer, but that’s okay. If you are looking for gloves that will offer protection in the event of a crash, then these would be bare minimum protection. These would help some in a crash…ANY hand protection is better than nothing. The best hand protection you could get would need to be full finger gloves and made almost exclusively with some form of leather or comparable material to protect the hands from road rash. The “palms” of these gloves meet that criteria, but the top of your hands, and the fingers would be at risk. Again… this is all personal preference, and has nothing to do with the gloves quality… but definitely something to consider when purchasing a pair of riding gloves.Overall, these have been good. They do not restrict my fingers, pinch or cut off blood flow. They have good grip on the bars, even in rough areas. Don’t really have anything negative to say, except one… and that is when you take them off, they do not have any good pull tabs. Most gloves today have very large tabs that are easy to grip… the ones on these gloves is very small making them difficult to grasp at times. Not too big of deal, but if your in a hurry to get these off, you may get frustrated. Aside from that they are wonderful! Happy ridding everyone!

Customer Review: I wear bike gloves every time I ride my ebike and have done so for years. I like my seat up high to accommodate long legs that like to stretch out and that causes me to lean forward and put my weight on my shoulders and hands. Not only do I need gloves to provide extra padding for my hands but also to maintain a good grip on my handlebars when I sweat and hands can become slippery. Always looking for replacement gloves, I tried the OOZi Cycling Gloves which are the lightweight, fingerless Gloves. They are padded on the palm and made with a stretch material on the top. The OOZi Cycling Gloves are comfortable and are made with a durable wick material to stay dry. I believe these gloves are true to size. I wear a large and these gloves fit so well that I’ve also taken them to the gym to help grip the pull bar weights. OOZi Cycling Gloves made my list of sporting essentials.

Customer Review: The media could not be loaded. These gloves are amazing! They have the thickest padding that I’ve ever had on a pair of cycling gloves. And they have padding on every portion of my palm where I need including on the outer portion of my palm for when I ride on my hoods. I took these out on a 10 mile ride and they are literally the most comfortable gloves I’ve ever owned. A sizing on these are spot on. I have medium sized hands and the mediums fit me perfectly. The rubber gripping on the palms is second to none. These do not slide on my carbon fiber handlebars. I feel even safer with these gloves on because of the extreme grip. I also feel safer that if I ever crash that the extra thick padding will save my hands if they go out to break my fall. Hopefully that never happens. The gloves are very easy to pull off even when sweaty with the two hoops that you pull on to pull the glove off. I haven’t washed them yet but they seem like they’re excellent quality and could probably be washed in the washing machine. I do not think I will put these in the dryer though I will let them air-dry because of the rubber on the palms. Overall taking into consideration the price and quality of these gloves, I don’t think there’s a better glove out on the market right now. I do not like to pay 50 plus dollars for cycling gloves. Please gloves are a great value and you get a lot for a very good price. I totally recommend these cycling gloves and couldn’t be happier with them.

Customer Review: I purchased these gloves in a size medium. I have small hands/wrists. It fits comfortably and are easy to remove with the finger pulls. The palms are thick and cushioned to prevent blisters and calluses from long rides. The front is breathable. They seem to be a good quality. I love the color. I can’t comment on the warmth because I don’t ride in the cold or rain. They are lightweight as well.

Customer Review: These (inexpensive) cycling gloves are fabulous! I ordered one and then ordered 2 more. For now I have been using them for indoor riding (Zwift). They have a nice cushioning and go on and off easily. The colors are very bright as well. I have washed one pair once and they have held up. I sweat A LOT while riding inside. I think they will be a little warm for summer riding because the padding is a little thicker, so I will see. Highly recommend and cannot believe the value for these!

Customer Review: I got these gloves yesterday and took them out for a 50 mile ride this morning. My hands feel great. No ache at all.THE FIT:I am a large guy, just under 6’3″ with, let’s call them “construction grade” hands. The XL size fit me perfectly. They back of the glove is made of a stretchy, breathable material, so they might be able to fit a slightly larger hand, but they wouldn’t work for somebody with REALLY big paws.THE FUNCTION:I rode 50 miles this morning, which isn’t the longest ride, but it’s long enough to know how well the gloves are working. The gloves have a synthetic leather material with gel inserts at the padding of the thumb, up under the knuckles and at the edge of the hand. For people that ride road bike, the ones at the padding of the thumb and the edge are crucial, and these did their job well. I had no hand fatigue or soreness. The gel is in just the right spot at the thumb pad when in the forward position and extra thick at the edge for holding the bars in the upright position.THE MAKE:The gloves feel solidly made. The palm isn’t real leather. But it feels like a well made synthetic leather. The back, as I mentioned, is a breathable stretchy fabric, nylon or some synthetic material, but all the stitching is double stitching and all in all feel very solid. Plus, the finger loops, er pulls… The things between the fingers make it so easy to remove the gloves without having to twist and crumple them up, that I think they will last significantly longer than some of my previous gloves have. I tend to wear out a set of gloves in 6 to 8 months. I get the feeling these will make it longer.SUM TOTAL:These feel like great gloves. They fit nicely, work nicely and seem to be made nicely. If something comes up that makes me change my opinion on them, I’ll update this review, but as of now, I would definitely recommend them.

Customer Review: Such an improvement on the gloves I got from the sports store. These are really great, very comfortable, great fit. They’re strong and also very padded so they have a softness to them as well. My last workout gloves caused actual intense pain to my palms and hands in general when holding heavy weights with them, these alleviate all of that. They’re much more secure, look better, and are extremely easy to remove instantly without turning them inside out because of the finger straps. Someone finally made a great product for once in this world of horribly made cheap products.

Customer Review: I use these most of the time at the gym, and they’ve been great very comfortable with an easy, true-to-size fit. I really like the material because it’s breathable, which helps a lot during workouts.Overall, a solid choice something comfortable, practical, and reliable.

Customer Review: Purchased for my husband for his workout session at the gym and he loves them! He likes the padding and comfortable structure, also the breathable components. Thanks for a great product! True to size and fit well. User friendly and look good.

Customer Review: I’m a pretty standard large and this fit heavenly. The seams are soft and nothing is scratchy. The gel padding is well placed and robust, having a rubberized surface that grips very well, but all that folds up in my palm well and doesn’t obstruct the function of my hands—in fact I’m wearing them while typing this review on a small iPhone.The fabric on the thumbs will pick up any pet hair it can though.
