RE: gloves
I use gloves every time I ride the bike. Have five or six pair ranging from perforated leather to heavy GoreTex winter gloves. I'm just at ATGATT sort of guy: All The Gear All The Time. My goal is to avoid dying at the hands of the bike or other motorists.

RE: gloves
Warm weather - HD fingerless padded palms with pull loops to get them off
Cold weather - full finger thinsulate deerskin gauntlet
Rainy weather -HD gore-tex nylon rain guantlet gloves over the fingerless (leather on the palms is best,raingloves are textile material and wont last long going down)
yes fingerless wont protect your fingers,but experience says they do help the palms out alot,dont ask me how i know this,and no i didnt get damage to my fingers. something on your hands is way better than nothing at all!

Gerbing G3's below 35 degrees...
HD fingerless cause my hands sweat in summer: http://www.harley-davidson.com/mcm/m...bmLocale=en_US
HD GoreTex when cold: http://www.harley-davidson.com/mcm/m...bmLocale=en_USThese are great gloves, wish the gauntlet was longer but they keep my hands really warm above 35 or so, and are soft as a babys @$$!
Rain...don't know if'n they are waterproof though as I have not used them in the rain yet: http://www.harley-davidson.com/mcm/m...bmLocale=en_US
Yellow or greenrubber ones when wifey makes me do da dishes!

Gauntlets most of the time. Attached are my favorites,but I have a full range of gloves including fingerless.

RE: gloves
I wear these about 90% of the time. I've got pair in black and another in red.
Best I've found. They fit and feel great and unless its below 50 or over 90 I've always been comfortable.

RE: gloves
I wear fingerless in the hot weather, full fingered leather ones when chilly and electrics for cold weather.
For those who "will only wear full fingered" Do you always wear a protective jacket? or maybe a short sleeve shirt? Or maybe just a long sleeve shirt and Jeans? Ohhhh wait so how many "full fingered" always wearers Always have a helmet on? Its either all the way or some of the way
just my .02 cents

RE: gloves
I wear full fingered. But like anything else you do on a bike it depends on how much risk your willing to take.
Me, I want to finish my ride with all the skin God gave me. I see kid's riding crotch rockets with sneekers on, in shorts & T-shirts. Not my cup of tea, but there the cool ones.
