What are they for, really?
Do they actually help anything in any way, really?
If the theory is that you can cycle with mittened hands, then you have no trigger finger, so that's out.
If the theory is that you can cycle with thick gloved hands, ok, maybe, but it will still be hard to get your thick-gloved trigger finger into the still-standard-sized trigger guard. I guess that's it then. Any real world experience using thick gloves from members here, versus a regular loop with same gloves?
For thin to medium gloves, the regular loop works fine.
And most importantly, it's easier and more "sure" to cycle with a standard / small loop, because there's a lot less "take up time" before the back of hand engages and begins actuating the lever. That gives a large loop a disadvantage with a bare hand or thinly-gloved hand.
Thanks.
