Mackie Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Which in your opinion is the better option and why. For the sake of this argument lets ignore the obvious benifits the full finger have in the cold, just generally speaking.
whistler Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 full finger, for the crashing that sometimes occurs.
HowellingWulf Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 ...personally I prefer FF gloves just because of the added safety aspect - cant use the computer if there is no skin on the fingers. Came off my bike during a ride sometime ago and the FF glove prevented me from losing a nail on my thumb; still hurt like a sonovabitch but there was no blood involved....
AndreZA Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 My FF gloves does not offer any heat advantages. My fingers stay clean for when we stop for halfway treats.Mampara2009-06-19 04:13:23
sss000sss Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 It looks real funny to have roasties only on your fingers after using your hands to stop yourself and the bike
wheelz Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 trust me, you dont want to have the tips of all your fingeres grazed off or nails ripping out when you crash. . . .it hurts!! so go FFwheelz2009-06-19 04:17:52

Matchstix Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 the only disadvantage to fullfiners for me is that you cant feel what you are grabbing in your pcket if you need to feel detail,

kennyg Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Fingerless if it really hot...( somewhere for the sweat to drain out) or really dirty...( hate having mud on the gloves)
Climate Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I've done the Knysna MTB in the past with FF gloves and ended up bumming bites of energy bars from other riders on the route, because I thought I'd forgotten mine in the car ... just couldn't feel the bar in my cycling shirt pocket
AndreZA Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 You've got the wrong gloves for the wrong application if you can not feel what's going on in your pockets. The Louis Garneau ones are very nice and they almost feel like short finger gloves (you do not get fingerless gloves)
