I always question whether I'm a medium or large in glove sizes. My hands measure to the top end of the mediums based on the size chart. So I chose the mediums. They are snug - especially when new. But, I've had less numbness with these. The seam between thumb and first finger is noticeable when riding on the hoods, but hasn't caused any irritations.
Great fit and grip.
The gel pad really work its magic.
Well fitted gloves that live up to the reputation. Palm padding is well placed and does help relieve numbness.
What to say. Everyone has a preference for gloves. I typically only wear gloves in the summer to keep my hands drier from sweat. These are a good all around glove. Nice grip. Reasonably cool.
Road bike riding. Lots of uneven terrain so the snug fit and extra padding in the palms help with grip and shock absorption.
