Good thread. I've been having problems with sore palms during distance rides. I've been using the Spenco gel gloves but I find that they cause my hands to get hot/sweaty during longer rides (causing some abrasion on skin of palms). I've also used the Fizik gel padding under bar tape but sometimes the extra-thickness can make for an awkward grip.
I'm curious about the blue gel gloves recommended above.
