Padded cycling gloves

[Mike63]

Hi ...has anyone come across any cycling gloves padded in such a way as to protect the pad below the thumb?
I've changed my grips and changed my bars but still getting gip from the pressure.
....must be some I'm thinking......cheers....Mike

I use these out of winter season. They're ok, but I think that perhaps wide comfort grips are what would suit you better. They do differ a lot. I have crap ones and good ones. Let me go take a pic or two. I've just took the dog for a run, so they'll be a bit wet. Thank God for goretex.

3 pics of hard, slimmer wide grips. Not very comfy.







3 pics of wider grips with nice soft comfy rubber.

Thanks LP...they look ok but do they protect the pad under the thumb ?
Thanks for the pics...I'll look for wider grips....
...do you know the name of those ?

....cheers....Mike

It has an almost negligible gel pad, as shown in the pic. Not much comfort there to be frank about it.

They're cheap and you can get some here. I'm sure that there are better out there though, if you search hard.

Where's the bad spelling 'SRS'? That bad spelling icon needs throwing in the nib. It's a load of old blloocks.

Thanks Leigh...I've ordered these.
...shame they're from China...I need 'em today )
....can't find the "you're a star" icon, but you are one )
....cheers....Mike

Thanks Paul....I will have a look.

I use these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01G4TU3SY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
£11.95.
The padding is never that thick on gloves. But these are OK. As you can see there is padding around the thumb. I do like the loops that enable you to pull them off though. Great when the gloves are 'stuck' to your hands.

The other thing to consider is changing your grips to something like Ergons, which I did.

cheers lozw...they look good, I'll see how I get on with the ones I've ordered,
.....bearing these in mind.
Tried ergon grips ....support is in wrong place.
Thanks....Mike

I've just received these and I really like them.













Warm, padded and quite thick all over.

It was chilly on the fingers this morning. I pulled over, took my thinner cycling gloves off, and put the new gloves on.

They keep the hands completely sealed off from the elements. Especially the nasty wind chill that you get when riding quite fast. Supposedly, they're waterproof too. Although, it hasn't rained for me to test that yet. 10/10 in the dry though.

When winter comes, get yourself some Aldi Lobster gloves. Forget all your designer fabric X. These things actually work
