I found this website when I was searching for gloves. Never tried them, know nothing about them and don't plan on buying any gloves from them. Just passing it along.

+1 for bad wrist angle. I'm experiencing that on my RGS with stock bars. I can find higher bars, shorter bars, apes, blah blah blah, but no bars that are the same height that just turn the grips slightly more outward. I get a lot of pressure on the smaller part of my palm on the pinkie side. I'll find them. I know it.

I use a Cramp Buster on long rides, and I discovered my 16" apes were just enough to cause the blood to flow back. Switched to 14" bars and now they're just below my shoulders so it's better. But also I found out I have Degenerative Disc Disease and bone spurs in my neck. That causes pinched nerves. Dr's want to fuse three vertebrae. Might want to have that checked too.

I have a bad habit of holding the grips too tight. When I start to feel the tingling I ease up and it goes away.

Get some apes that are close or just below shoulder height. Helps with lower back pain too, I slouch when I ride anything without apes or high t bars. Causes wierd nerve thing that makes my hands go to sleep a little bit, sit up and it goes away. look better and no more numb hands what's not to like?

It's the gloves for me.
I have an older sheepskin pair that have a stitch seam right over the tendon area of my thumbs. After about 40 minutes of riding, the numbiness starts creeping in on my right hand. On the other hand (figuratively), I have a HD cold weather pair which are softer and I have not had a numbness issue while wearing them.
