I agree with the previously stated opinion that too much gel is not good. I like a fairly thin pad, and if there is gel I like it to be thin like the LGs. I've got Descente Supreme gloves that I really like, and I'm a fan of the Specialized BG Pro glove, but the BG Gel has too much padding for my taste.
Anyone have a way to stretch a glove out? I'd really like those LG's to work for me.
I was going to suggest "how" before I even read the last line.
It might sound wierd, but soak them in water, squeeze the excess water out of them, then wear them.
Make fists, manipulate your fingers, stretch your hands and keep working the material.
They'll begin to conform to your hands. I have big hands myself. I have the XL pair.
I learned this trick with my Ironclad Work Gloves by accident
(they were tight until I had to work with them in a rain storm).
