Gloves for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

[STumpy]

Has anyone ever suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome or related hand and wrist pain from riding long ? If so you may wish to look at this link

http://www.shocktek.com/index2.html

It was recommended by our Work Comp Carrier for some of our employees that work on one particular phase of manufacturing. I went to the site, and noticed they offer a large variety of these types of gloves, not only for industrial applications, but sports and long distant motorycling.

I am not familiar with this company or the technology behind it. if anyone has any input, it would be appreciated.

Don,

Thanks for the post. I've had CPS for quite a few years now. My index and middle right fingers will often go numb riding. While I haven't tried Schock-Tek (or even heard about them), I will save this link and consider them for my next pair of gloves. If you ever give them a try yourself, please post your impression of their effectiveness.

Thanks again, Brian

Will do.

As I said earlier, our WC Carrier strongly recommended this company and its products. Of course their recommendation was for industrial gloves, but if it is good for one, it should be good for the other. WE will order some in, and see how they work, for the guys in the shop.

I've been looking at these also:

Similar concept. The Schock-Tek look like they might be made a little better. Hard to tell from pix. I sure wish stuff like these could be found in local stores
because I worry about sizing issues. Heck, I wish motorcycle shops would just carry full lines of bike gloves in all sizes instead of whatever the distributor had on sale last month!
