Cyclists, as they love to cycle around on their bicycles, are usually holding their handlebars. The cycling gloves serve as the insulators, trying to keep the hands from freezing over, since the hands are usually left exposed to the cold wind, especially during winter season.
However, the pads inside the cycling gloves can oftentimes cause further pressure to be applied on the heel part of the hands. It is quite normal that cyclists put a lot of their weight on their hands, particularly on the bones of the hands' heel portion. This makes the nerves compressed, which can develop further into a disease regarded as the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is only one of the possible disorders cyclists can unfortunately develop from cycling without the gloves on.
When cyclists try to break their fall, they either put one hand or both hands out. Breaking the fall is a good thing so that freak accidents are avoided. But, the damage that can be caused on the hands can be difficult to repair. Also, since the hands will have to be immobilized in order to fully recover more quickly, this can be quite an inconvenience for the cyclists who are hurt.
To prevent any damage from occurring to the cyclists' skin, they are advised to wear cycling gloves, especially when they set off on their bikes.
There are actually different kinds of cycling gloves today. The most profitable is the fingerless kind. Fingerless gloves are also called as track mitts. These track mitts have pads installed on its leather part. They can have either natural or synthetic leather. Either way, leather is used.
In the past, these fingerless cycling gloves were only worn by tying them around the cyclist's hands with the use of some strings. However, now that the world has become much more industrial, cycling gloves are made with a man-made textile called elastane.
This proves that cycling gloves were also worn by old cyclists. It somehow proves that the people back then were also concerned with the welfare of their hands.
This material, elastane, is also the textile used because of its ability to keep whoever is wearing the textile warm, without making them feel like they are a boiling egg. Elastane is considered as a perfect material for protecting the hands against the cold weather because the hands are naturally prone to feeling cold. The main reason for this is because the hands are naturally made with a smaller number of muscle mass.
