Bicycle gloves and mitts are very specific to cycling needs.
They typically include reinforced and strategically padded palms to abosrb vibration and remove pressure on nerves, and fleece to help wiping glasses - and the long fingered keep your hands warmer and possibly dryer in winter
They are also important in keeping the sun off the backs of the hands, and significantly reduce damage to the hands in an accident (the voice of experience).... Bicycle gloves provide safety as well as comfort!
