i have BG socks and they are comfortable, but are they worth $14? my hands get numb when im racing (mainly my right hand), maybe because i have a death grip on the bars a lot of the time, but i was considering buying the BG Radiator gloves. they look cool and they have a lot of padding. i have very thin racing grips so they dont provide much comfort.
do the BG products really enhance the blood flow like Spec says they will? i dont want to waste another $40 on gloves...

Yes they do work. I love my Specialized Toupe saddle. It is expensive, but worth it.
I would start by adjusting your bike before you drop $40 on some gloves. Numb hands are indicitave of a bad bike fit. You are putting too much pressure on your hand. You could try lowering your saddle first. You may also need a shorter stem to get better fit as well, so there isn't a ton of reach.

Well.
Anytime you talk about ergonomics, it depends on each person.
I think that body geometry by Spec is a nice line, but I've tried their shoes and they really hurt! But that's probably because they're likely designed for slender feet. If I got larger shoes, they would be too long. But that happens with a lot of clothes, you just need to find the right size.
