For the winter I recently started using gantlet style? Guess that's what they are called? Had been running a cutting torch and came to like these. so I bought a set for home.
These gloves were cherry for playing with my dog when I get home after work at night.. The bugger likes to play ruff! He knows the difference tho. Can't get him to play right with out them. Yet when I put them on.. There is a renewed look on that well loved ''old '' dogs eyes there perfect!
Every other leather glove I had used got shredded quickly lol.

I soon found out since these leather gloves were so darn thick . For Welding and Torch work. The gloves blocked the wind this winter on my bike rides when combined with another glove it was sweet. My hands stayed very warm and toasty.

Or a pair of my Mechanic's type gloves. I use these in the summer or a pair of leather gloves like for gardening. Its got to a point that I like gloves all year round. Skinned finger or whatever from a miss hap is just no fun and seams to be avoidable.
On my rides I use BMX style bars that are pretty straight across. Yet they have just the right pitch to them that my palms ''the side for striking things'' comes in contact with the grips first
My body weight while riding the bike leaves my palms naturally trained and resting there in a nice neutral ergonomical fashion. Don't seam to have a problem with grip at all. Then all I need is to just reach for the brake caliper handles which is strategically positioned natural as well.
