I have tried every brand of women's cycling glove that I know of and have always had a problem with discomfort in the web of my hands when on the handlebars. I tried these and I have found my solution. They are a minimal glove but that is what works for me. Love, love, love them. Can't say enough. Btw, I have very small, almost childlike hands and ordered a small. When new they are a bit tough to get on but they break in quickly.
