    I get really bad "electric hands" after about 40km or so. Does anyone know of any super padded gloves that can eliminate this? I mean the equivalent of rubber gloves filled with jelly type padding.
    Serious gloves for serious hands.

    Having electric type nerve shocks when I switch from aero to hoods can disrupt your rythym.

    I wouldn't be massively sensitive to vibration, but if I know I'm facing into a route that I know the road surface is poor on I use specialized mitts - they've a bit more padding around the part of the wrist where vibration can lead to carpel tunnel. Got em in Cycleways (ages ago - they wear well) and they look a bit like this

    I don't have these issues myself and generally ride without gloves (I do use them racing or MTBing) but having said that I think it is not so much an issue of buckets of padding but the right sort of padding in the right place. Specialized mitts are often suggested... I just got a pair of Descente Prologue mitts in the PBK sale myself as my previous Gill ones are worn out. May be a bit of a personal one, like saddles, as fit is very important (have a pair of Lewiskit leather mitts which work for some people but they just don't really fit me that well and tend to bunch up.)
