mine are like brain freezes

just the harley version so i probably paid to much

leather with cushion in the palm

perforated to allow air to come through on the knuckles.

like stretchy neoprene on the wrist

if its below 45 degrees out my hands freeze in them so there is decent air flowing

In the summer, I wear my "gayass fingerless gloves" of course. HD gloves, this is one things of HD that I have found that isn't extremely overpriced. The have gel padding in the palm, and are around $18. Hold upvery well. I just recently had to retire my first pair, and get another, but that was after probably 20,000 miles.

In the winter I wear waterproof heated gloves from Gerbing.

When it's below 35 I wear standard Navy issue wool lined leathers, otherwise I have "naked knuckles".

I can't stand for fingerless gloves so I bought these HD gloves, click here. The good thing about it, they allow air to flow in the summer, I can wear them all day in the summer.

I got a pair of "Mechanix" gloves from Lowes; about $17. They're thin grey suede palm and fingers with a lightweight back. Wrist length and velcro closure. They give great feedback, a good grip, some protection from stones and bugs and other flying stuff and they're thin enough I can pick up a dime and fasten my chin strap with them on. And they color match my bike. Life's good.

Had some nice lightweight full fingered gloves - got a hole in the thumb so cut off all the finger tips. I know it might not have the right "look", but when it comes to handling, I feel better with a little something on the hands. Riding with no gloves, I personally don't like it when my hands are sweating, so I like just a little something to give me a better grip.

I'm with Sporty Pig (no, not physically you sick freaks). I wear the gay *** fingerless gloves from Harley with the gel palm. I don't like riding without some kind of gloves on as the grips start aggravating my hands after a while. They stay as cool as gay *** fingerless gloves will allow, which is pretty cool.

+1 for the summer and normal riding. Redline leather insulated guntlets with a jersey glove inside for moisture and I'm fine.
