I don't care for them, but could care less if someone else likes them. For some reason they do make a good thing to razz someone about though. Beats me why, but it's kinda like "Your mamma wears combat boots" in the days of old.

I knew 'fingerless' gloves from UP North......guys that operated
dirt and asphault compactors, and jack hammers.
The gloves were designed to provide insulation from the vibrating machinery. I think the older bikers found the gloves helped them with the minor
vibes that the bikes of the day provided.
I go fingerless every now and again.......when it gets cooler here in Florida, I even get a good comment by women about my assless chaps.
Do the fingerless gloves and assless chaps work for you? Maybe not.....

I wear fingerless gloves sometimes, but I sewed some fingers onto the ends so that nobody could tell. When someone looks at them, they just look like regular gloves, but only I really know that they're really fingerless.

for years, I just wore leather work gloves and they worked ok. I wear fingerless to keep the sun off, to keep the sweaty shmeg off my grips, and because when I pull over I don't have to take my gloves off. Theyre just handy IMO.

I guess Im queerer than a football bat.
