with less muscle, which = lighter grip, which = less vibration into the hand. i do wear gel pad gloves a lot, but plain leather works on the stock grip okay for me. people are different. how their body reacts, fingers, palm width, variables,, so, try stuff till ya get what you need,
I don't typically wear gloves. I try to remember the fingerless gloves for trips out of town. I do use the relax method. It works at times. Just not for very long. I am going to try some gel gloves to see if they help. I think a better seat will help my hands as well. My @ss gets sore and I shift around. Then my hand/arm position change. I dunno.
