I don't always wear gloves but I feel like I am doing something wrong when I don't. I have had a couple of surgeries on my right hand due to Dupytrens Contacture. Sometime when I have a glove on that hand it bunches up under the scar tissue and is somewhat painful. I had a pair of deerskin gloves that were pretty good and didn't hurt much. Unfortunately I lost them and I haven't found another pair that are as comfortable. I have two things in life that I can't seem to hang on to, gloves and flashlights.

Deerskin gloves are what I've always worn and take it from someone who minds heat a lot... your hands are the last place where you will mind it. They actually keep your sweat off the grips. Plus, they stay soft and pliable even after getting soaking wet.

Always have my gloves. I have a pair of deerskin gloves from Fox Creek. Super comfy in the heat. I also have a pair of gauntlets for cold weather.
I've gone down my block without gloves; feels weird without them.
