Inbike Gel Pad Cycling Glove Review

I bike a lot and have been suffering from tingling/numbness in my fingers and palm pain for about a year which has gotten worse. I bought ergonomic grips for my hybrid bike which helped a little but not completely. I have used a different brand of gel gloves with persistent symptoms. Today I tried Inbike Gel Gloves for the first time. I have a size 7.5 glove, large according to bike sizing guidelines, and the gloves fit well. There were two differences between the cycling glove and my other gel gloves. First, the gel on this glove is softer. Secondly, the gel spreads over the entire palm. This differs from other gel gloves which have some gel at the base of the palm with open spaces in between. Today after using inbikes I realized the importance of gel placement. Because the gel is applied to the entire palm, the weight of my hand is spread over a larger area, and with other brands of gloves, the weight is mostly only on the areas where the gel is, putting more pressure on those areas. With a softer gel and better weight distribution today, for the first time in a long time, I had no numbness/tingling sensations during a 20 mile ride and my hands felt much better on the steering wheel than before. Towards the end of the trip I had very slight pain in my palms but it was much less than before and in fact it was a slight irritation rather than a pain and could be a reflection of chronic inflammation in my hands rather than a reflection on my gloves . . It's a shame I didn't discover these gloves years ago. Addendum: I liked the short finger gloves so much that I bought the long finger gloves. Same great palm padding and I can use my phone with gloves on. 5 Stars.

Pros
  • These short finger cycling gloves are made of high stretch Lycra and knitted mesh fabric, breathable and comfortable to wear
Cons
  • The list will be long.
