Claim:
A high breathability hand glove for use over a bicycle handlebar by a cyclist, said glove comprising: a) a main body made from a flexible sheet material for wrap-around a cyclist hand, said main body including a central palm area; b) a number of air and moisture circulation apertures made through said central palm area; c) at least one cushioning pad made from a soft material and fixedly applied against said main body adjacent to but spacedly from said central palm area thereof said cushioning pad clearing said central palm area wherein said central palm area is thus exposed, said pad being much thicker than said main body sheet material; and d) an air channel member, merging with said exposed palm area and opening outwardly or said cushioning pad, said air channel member forming both a fresh air intake port for providing outside air toward said palm area, and a moisture outlet from bodily moisture escaping outwardly from said palm area; wherein said air channel member cooperates with said at least one cushioning pad in preventing accidental sealing of said apertures of said exposed palm area upon grasping engagement at said glove around the bicycle handlebar; and wherein said at least one cushioning pad includes a first pad and a second pad, said each first pad and of irregular U-shape and closely spaced from one another, and wherein said air channel member is defined by an X-shape passageway defined between said (two separate) first pad and second pad, the width of said passageway designed to be smaller than the diameter of the bicycle handlebar.
