I am not quite sure about this review. I never heard about POC but anyways... showing a picture of "look at the bulge" with a palm flat on a table is nothing I care about. Put your hands on the bike and lets see if the bulge is there. The other photos show this glove pretty well fitted on his hand?? Next, most of you are saying tooooooo much padding. Ok, that might be what you think but padding = protection. I don't know about you all but my hands are VERY important to me! Give me a review how they felt on the bike and not a review on wildlife fighting!
