Look into:
http://www.leeparksdesign.com/ I got the Deer Tours
Amazing gloves that don't even feel like you have gloves on.
..And they're made in the USA which is a plus.
If you take a Lg, you'll be a size smaller in these gloves.
I like them so much I just ordered another pair.

I agree with Olympia. I use the perforated leather with gel pad in the summer, the All Season in mid temperatures and a cold weather one, not sure of model. The heavy winter ones are a bit bulky but my hands stay warm and that's what counts.

I was having the same problem - I bought about 6 different pairs until I was at the hardware store one day & saw a pair of deer skin gloves - no liner! - very soft - Think I paid 14 bucks for them? I'll never wear anything else now - I gave away a pair of 100 dollar gloves I bought at the BMW dealer -Try Light weight deer skin - hard to beat!

Totally with you on the Olympia's. They make some of Harley's gloves, and they also do Gerbing's. I'll never buy anything that is not Olympia.

I agree, it might not be the gloves at all. Have you tried different diameter handgrips?

i had the same problem, and thought it was the thick grips, come to find out, it was the reach to the bars that was doing it for me, I'd set up straight and reach for the bars and only my finger tips would reach them, there was no bend in my elbows to take the pull off my arms, so i hooked up with a buddy that has the 2" pull backs and rode his bike and it worked for me, not saying it will work for PDDGM, but maybe he should check it out.

Thanks for all the info, I use leather motorcycle gloves(no gel or padding-tried a couple pair on didn't like the feeling). I get xl so they fit loose. I will pay attention next ride to see if I am squeezing the throttle harder. I do use the cruise on the interstate, but not around town or on 2 lane roads, to many nuts around here.
