Specialized Body Geometry Glove Overview
Hand discomfort when riding is most often caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve (that’s the nerve that provides sensation to the ring finger and pinkie). So much so that ulnar neuropathy (which can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) is called "cyclists’ palsy" in neurology textbooks. With their Body Geometry mitts and gloves, Specialized incorporate foam and gel padding exactly where it will dissipate that pressure. To sum up, BG gloves offer padding where you need it, none where you don’t. More proof that BG also stands for Bloody Genius.
