I use to use short finger gloves but have fallen in love with long fingered one especially since they are being made with good light materials. Where I ride we have lots of sticker bushes and rocks. Nothing worse than rolling through some singletrack and getting thorns stuck in my fingers and knuckles. Also falling on rocks hurts; long finger gloves provide good protection. I really like the gloves made by PI.
