Do any of you have a problem getting blisters on your hands when you ride? If so have you found any gloves that help prevent them?

I run renthal race bars w/medium grips.

is there a different grip that I should try?

Any help is appreciated

If you're getting blisters while wearing gloves the problem is that you're a sissy:D You need to go outside and dig a downspout trench by hand without wearing any gloves. Those blisters will soon turn to callouses and you won't need gloves anymore! When I was younger (the phrase "strong back, weak mind" comes to mind) I worked for a roofer one summer and then a mason another summer. When we weren't on site and the delivery truck would show up they'd just drop the shingles off at the end of the driveway and my happy *** would have to walk the bundles onto the roof. I decided to get out of manual labor jobs when a truck with 2500 cement blocks dropped them off about 200' from the basement we were building. By myself I carried all of them by hand while 2 masons laid block. I was behind the entire day...

Moral of the story is that I don't get blisters anymore:D

Those renthal grips are the problem not your gloves. The grips are sweet, i ran them for 2 years. I recently switched to spyder grips that Jeff started carrying. Well i've got a 2 hour gncc race and 9 hours of riding at hatfield McCoy and not 1 blister. Switch out your grips and you'll be fine..

I think you still have a weak mind, hope you did not hurt yourself beating your chest.

Later Apparently your blisters come from having thin skin because I see you can't take a joke. See the smilies I put throughout my reply? Those signal humorous intent.
