After shattering a wrist (Colles fracture), it was supersensitive to jarring for a few years afterward.
During that time I used gloves with gel padding, and found the most durable were these, which are really industrial work gloves: https://www.biketiresdirect.com/prod...-impact-gloves

Now that the wrist is no longer overly-sensitive, I find that cork bartape provides sufficient padding, and I use cheap work gloves from the hardware store.
