I don't know if these gloves will work for you or not. I have arthritis in my thumbs and pressure in that area, after riding in the hoods for a long time, really hurts. Over the last 3-4 years, I have been using Specialized BG Gel or BG Pro gloves and they have done wonders for my riding. The main difference in the two is that the Pro has a different type of material in the palm area and costs around $5.00 more.
