Thumbs up Who Rides With Gloves? Fingerless or not?

I ride with fingerless gloves and it seems to be the norm in the summer judging by the people that wave at me. What do yaw wear in the summer. Gloves or no gloves?

Also you got to love the tan lines with fingerless gloves. Snow white hands and dirty looking knuckles. LOL

No gloves unless it is cold or raining. I have a light leather pair, with fingers, for cool weather, a gore-tex pair for rain and a pair of winter gauntlets for below 40 degree F. Used to wear them all the time, fingerless and fingered, just sort of got out of it.

I ride with fingerless in the summer and full finger in the Winter. I think it is a matter of preferance.

I always wear some type of gloves. Not a nice thought here, but think about what your hands would look like if you had to use them sliding along the pavement to save some other part of your body, like your arms or your face, etc...............

I wear full fingered gloves all year. Thinner ones in summer and thicker waterproof in winter
