What shortie summer gloves do you like?
I never ride without gloves but haven't found ones I love for warm weather. I have got over the fingerless ones real quick, or anything with cutouts on the top that make tan line patterns on the back of my hands. Mainly I like gloves to be easy to get on and off in any season and literally everything I've seen in a cruiser style have some sort of velcro strap which can get tiresome if I'm doing lots of errands, you can't just pull them off quickly to reach into a pocket or whatever. So wondering if you all have favorites that are ventilated AND easy to get on/off with just elastic cuffs?
My current faves are these little numbers from Joe Rocket called Hybrids, but I had to cut off the useless and stupid rain overflaps that come on them. The remaining little flap pouch is now obsolete but they're still the most comfortable gloves I've found that just stay on by elastic rather than a strap. Guess I'm looking for something a little more 'cool' or classy , maybe in a perforated leather...but still has that easy-on capability. Please share any you've tried or seen.

I wear UnderArmor baseball batting gloves nearly year around, they are thin and light and very comfortable. They are also pretty durable, they were what I was wearing when I wrecked my Nomad and my hands weren't damaged at all.

I really like speed and strength gloves. I recently bought the "Cruise Missles" and I am very happy with them. They are all leather... and look like a cruiser glove. I come from the land of crotch rockets so I am used to the armor gloves. These have less protection, but a lot of padding in the right places. Price and comfort are great. I ride everyday in Florida heat... so that should tell you something about their breathability.
I might check out the batting gloves for light trips though... never thought of that! |

Something like these driving gloves might work.
http://www.bionicgloves.com/p-19-men...x#.U_a32EvgC0g or just do a search for automobile driving gloves.

Oooh damn Neil those driving gloves look just perfect for me!
Great look, no straps, coomax inserts for heat, designed by an orthopedic hand specialist. Why don't we see anything like that from motorcycle vendors? I LIKE!

They do make a motorcycle glove but it has the velcro closure.

Thanks for the tip on the UnderArmor gloves CJ. I have a heck of a time finding summer gloves that are comfortable. Something to check out and hope they fit better than the ones I am using.
