Default Gloves?

I'm looking at getting a pair of gloves as the morning ride to work is getting a bit cool. Not looking for a winter weight glove, just a comfortable glove that keeps the wind down.

So.... what gloves do you guys wear/recommend?

Check out the gloves from Fox Creek. I've had a pair of these for over 5 years and still in great shape.

i'll endorse these too, my wife got them for me for christmas a few years ago and they're still in great shape with a lot of use. there was slight dye bleeding for the first couple months of use but it seems to have stopped.

It's no where near cool here. This morning, it was 80 when I left for work. Right now I'm wearing those "mechanics" gloves that you can get at Wally World. Cheap, good grip, and allows air to pass thru the back of them.

I just have a pair of HD brand perforated gloves that I like a lot for cool weather.

In the past I had a pair of HD gloves with the mesh back, kind of like the construction work gloves that I liked even better then the perforated gloves.

Oh, it was 63 degress this morning here in MN. Won't be long till I will be riding in the 30's in the morning.

in NY this week it's been cool in the mornings, i would say low 60's possibly high 50's really really nice weather and i broke the gloves out too. the AC is out of the window this week, i know we will get at least one more miserable heat wave but the fall is close, chopped my wood and cleaned my chimney, i despise the summer and the heat.

So, planning ahead for the cooler weather, I took your advice about Fox Creek gloves and just ordered a guantlet style. My measurements indicated I'm right between sizes so I told the nice lady I'd like to order the Med and the Lrg, with the intention of sending one pair back. She said they would be happy to do this......and then said they would only bill me for ONE of the two pairs, as one would be coming back to them. She also stated the order would ship today.
Now folks, that's service
