Unlike foam padding, I found the gel didn’t compress and my hands wouldn’t get as numb. Being a bigger guy, I wanted cycling gloves with the thickest gel padding I could find. The Elite Cycling Project Urban Cycling Gloves come with 7mm gel pads. This is far thicker padding than most other gel cycling gloves I found. Many satisfied customers have also reported that the padding with these gloves is in the right places which helps prevent the feelings of ‘pins and needles.’
