Winter glove redesign... ideas wanted

Amen to that^

somebody up there^ mentioned palm padding. I don;t know whether you felt it relevant scott, having used them, but as you say all people are different.

I don;t know if you got any nerve-associated numbness from these gloves, but I would recommend careful palm/heel padding design, in all cycle gloves, that allow for the nerves below the centre of the palm just near the wrist, by perhaps a clear unpressured channel in between pad on the lover part of the thumb, and opposite pad/heel area from the wrist to the little finger. Make sense? The physio on JackT's resonance podcast mentions this area in the recent show about wellbeing for cyclists. If the glove doen't allow for this area well, ask them to have a think about it. Numb finger syndrome, obviously exascerbated by poor fit or handlebar coice, nonetheless can easily set in for most of us if the paddding design is wrong. It's, apparently, all about nerves. The physio guy interviewed posted an offer for consultations on here, could be helpful.

Padding is another tricky area...i personally don't like too much padding...especially on a winter glove which is already bulkier.
The glove doesn't have any padding as such on the palm, it has reinforcing/grip sections...double reinforced on thumb and fore finger.
Again...some prefer padding, some prefer less.
