swanpfox, whiel i cant answer for every one here i will give my reasons for wearign them.
-i smoke and normal gloves make that a challenge
-i also do all my own repairs and maintenence and it helps on the side of the road to be able to feel for things that a normal glove wouldnt allow * read my tool bag has tools in it not a chell phone and some condoms ok there migth be a few of them i nthere too but no cell phone LOL*
-i like have the abiltty to feel and use my fingers while keeping my hands warm
-in normal gloves i wear a XXXL which is very hard to find around here if not impossible, but in fingerless gloves i can get away with a XXL which is easier to find. on cheap fingerless gloves i find if they get wet the material between my thumb and index finger blows out if i open my hand fully on the XXL though
those are my biggest reasons or fingerless gloves for me its not about fashion its function.

My gf bought me a pair for Christmas and I exchanged them to help pay for new highway pegs... I just didn't like the feel of them and couldn't figure how they'd help beyond being able to wear them while doing up my lid. Now I have seen them come up in a couple of threads as items to poke fun at. So what's the deal on that?
in the early years....motorcycle riders used them to isolate the vibrations from there handlebars. Now days, people make fun of them for some reason, along with chaps.....dew rags....jackets with fringe and buckles.
If the glove fits...wear it. I wear them and chaps also.....when the need arises
Chaps keep my legs warm when temps are below 50 degrees. Fingerless gloves can come in handy many times. (fingerless gloves are more handy then a helmet with cow horns on it or fake spurs on your boots).
