If it's warm, no gloves, if it's cold, then gloves<br />
<br />
sounds like I could make that into a Haiku<br />

Unpadded, full-finger all the time on the 'cross bike. I couldn't care less on the road. But in the dirt I'm always falling, grabbing stuff and getting mutilated. I crashed this weekend and cut my hand <i>through my glove</i>. Glad I had them on.

I never thought about it much until this thread, but I always wear them. I have long skinny hands that get cold easily, so that's probably the biggest reason, but I crashed and got some road rash on Sunday from a CX race and cleaning it with scuzzed up fingers and hands would be much worse than it already is.

Yes, absolutely. I used to wear my road gloves,until I accidentally got my fingers into bladed spokes of a rotating wheel on a run-up. Now it is full finger, full time, even though I ride in NorCal where most CX races are warm and sunny.<br />
<br />
I recommend a simple pair of six6one w/o padding - only $20. They fit very well and don't take anything away from handling ability or "feel" for the course.<br />
<br />
Taken from another perspective, have you ever seen a Formula 1 driver without gloves?

Good question. In training and warm up I never wear them if it's over 55 for both road & cross. On the mountain bike I'll usually warm up without them then throw them on before it gets technical. I rarely fall in training, but for racing I prefer the extra protection and peace of mind from having a little bit extra protection. I use the 661 Raji and it's the closest I've come to feeling like not wearing gloves.

if you don't like wearing gloves but realize the need for "some" protection from either elements or grass burn, the Specialized Monkey wrench mechanic gloves are great...

I prefer light, unpadded gloves in cross for protection; the dry Colorado courses have plenty of slippery corners where my gloves have definitely saved my skin more than once while racing.<br />
<br />
Otherwise I prefer to go without them unless the weather mandates it.

I always wear gloves. For one, my hands get cold really easily. Secondly, I seem to crash a lot mountain biking so I always wear gloves and it just seems to make sense for 'cross too.
