Default Gloves, stretch-type or snug/form-fitting

Hi. I'm looking for some gloves for warm to cool weather riding, like described in the title, and that don't leave a lot of material hanging all of the place for me to fidgit with while I'm riding. If there is something that fits snug to the hand all over and that is comfortable then I would like to know about them. I'm thinking something snug with a little stretch would work well.

Do you know of anything?

Thanks!

I have a bunch of gloves for all types of temps. For warm to cool weather I wear a pair of tight fitting Fox Creek leather gloves. When it gets hot I switch to a pair of mesh gloves that have gel padded palms.

I have a pair of Tour Master tight fitting leather gloves and a pair of Firstgear mesh gloves for hot weather. Took a large insect of unknown origin on the back of the mesh gloves and thought I had been smacked with piece of doweling. That's the only problem with the thinner mesh style, not much armor.

What ever you do, don't buy a pair of those fingerless gloves with the hole where the knuckle are, unless you want the back of your hands to look like you have some king of disease when you don't have your gloves on.

I have about five pair of gloves, depending upin the temp. I usually try to get away with form fitting full finger gloves when I can, usually works down to about 55-60 degrees.
