Default Help with gloves.

Hi. I recently bought my first pair of riding gloves. I have the Alpinestars Maze gloves. I was ridding bare-handed since August until now and am not used to riding with gloves. They fit OK, there is just barley a little room at the end of the fingers. ButI have stubby fingers.Everything feels really awkward. Is this just something I have to get used to? Because it is really bugging me.

Thanks.

-Nick.

Riding without gloves is insane. You will get used to them.

^ ditto

Something that you'll get used to. For the temporary discomfort of adaptation, it's worth it in the exchange for the amount of protection you'll be receiving.

Kinda like wearing a watch or a wedding ring. It take a while to get use to, but after some time, you feel naked without it.

So very true. I will not go around the black without my gloves. You will get use to them. Road rash on you arm is painful, but rash on your hands and you out of bizz till it heals. A guy I know has a buddy that went down with out gloves and the rash was so bad on his hands that is mom had to wipe his *** for two weeks. Don't be that guy.
