This glove was designed for long-distance rides, with extra padding in the palm and premium materials throughout. The palm has gel padding and a Poron insert at the median nerve, on top of an ultrasoft synthetic suede. The back of the hand uses Endurance Evolution fabric that's robust enough to keep the glove in place, while the four-way stretch makes it comfortable on long rides. And it's the same fabric as the Endurance Bibshort, so your long rides will even look coordinated.
