I wear gloves for the saftey aspect. About 3 weeks ago i had a 45km/h crash with some pretty bad road rash. But my hands were saved by my gloves, all the layers(about 5 or 6 layers of foam/leather/fabric) were burnt through expect the very last layer of fabric. So I always were my gloves more for saftey than comfort. Gloves are also usefull for wiping sweat off your forehead. My advice is to buy some.
