personally i had a hard time feeling the throttle with the gel gloves. that and i dont always like wearing gloves. have you heard of or tried out the crampbuster? which (if your not familiar) clips on to your right grip to ad a platform for your hand to rest on while your riding.

Bought gel gloves. Hated them so much I cut out the gel when I got home. I wear gloves all the time.

My guess is that the numbness is from the type and/or position of your handle bars.

It probably comes from your grip on the throttle and if that's the case the cramp buster lstcause616 mentioned will let you loosen your grip and help with blood flow to your fingers.

I had gel gloves and to be honest they really don't isolate the vibs as much as ya think.

Could still be a positional issue. Especially if you have an underline issue like Carpel Tunnel. (Use to be a Medic) Just my 2 cents.

Default Gel Gloves

One day stopped bought a pair of Gel Gloves to ease the pain after a 100 mile ride. Got a little better. Picked up a Crampbuster last season now I have both and the Crampbuster made the biggest difference.

I forgot to put the Crampbuster on at the begging of this season and I felt like I was missing my best friend. It really makes a big difference to me.

Especially during my comute to work that is 25 miles each way.

I have a similar issue, if I ride all day. I have a pair of H-D gel pad gloves, and they help dampen the vibration and prevent numbness in my hand quite a bit. I also have a cramp buster, and it works well too. I recommend getting the gloves and the cramp buster.
