Default Fingerless Gloves??? Whats the big stigma???

Ok, I have read about this and that here on this forum, chic bikes yadda, yadda, yak-kady smack...But I wonder whats the objection to fingerless gloves. I have used them for25 years riding. I love them. Need to buckle or unbuckle your helmet, finger tips are available.So what isthe stigma with fingerless gloves anyway? Mike

I like them. They absorb vibes, yet let my hands be nimble.

Nothing but they don't protect your fingers if you fall.

It's mostly just a joke. Almost everyone I know wears fingerless gloves or chaps at one time or another. The big stigma is all the threads about fingerless gloves and chaps. Hole on to your hat.
