My experience has been that fingerless gloves, while adding to the dexterity factor, are a real PITA to get off when sweaty and I imagine that protection is much less in the worst case scenario. BUT, if watching ole ladies tremble gets you off, go for it...

I always were fingerless gloves unless it's too cold out. Mine have excellent palm and knuckle protection. On hot days it's better than no gloves because your hands sweat in the gloves, not on the grips. They may not offer 100% hand protection but the ones I have offer more protection than some full finger gloves I see some guys wearing.

Explain to me how they're useless when they protect the palms and knuckles.

I got a pair as a gift a couple of years ago, wear them all the time now. As for getting them off, mine have extra little straps between fingers to facilitate pulling them off -- works fine.
