Hugger makes a good quality fingerless glove.

Avoid cheapos. HDs are good, you'll be comfortable in them, and you'll have a chance to try them on which you won't have if you buy over the internet.

I always ride with gloves, boots, long pants, and a helmet. I believe fingered riding gloves are superior if you take a tumble. I confess, however, that I own two pair of fingerless gloves for those hot, humid days of mid-summer.

Another piece of fingerless glove wisdom. Consider the tan. I own two pair because my first pair have cut outs on the back of the hand above the fastener. After much riding at all, I end up with little half-moon's tanned into my hide.

I was talking to a client one day who interrupted our conversation to say, "You ride a motorcycle, don't you?" I said, "Yes, but how would you know that?" She pointed to my little half moons and said I had a biker-glove tan. She was right. I went back to the dealership and bought solid backed fingerless gloves.

I've got a pair of Power Trip gloves that work really well. They've got a really thick gel cushion on the palms which makes for very comfortable riding.

I have some with jel also and they work real nice.
I do, however like the new manufacturer that has fingerless (shortys), that allow uv to get through.
This way, you don't have weird looking white hands with tan just on your top half fingers.
I think J&P has em.

I personally won't wear fingerless because of the lack of protection but I have some gloves that have ballistic mesh on the sides of the fingers and find in the hot weather my hands stay nice and comfortable.

I use these. They are comfortable and I like to think that the padding adds some protection

I don't wear fingerless gloves because of lack of protection. Unlined leather long fingered gauntlet gloves is my choice. Deerskin is cool enough for summertime and has better abrasion resistance than cowhide. Vanson makes some good one,... I'm sure there are others.

If it's not cold I don't wear gloves at all. I just dont see the point of wearing gloves in nice weather. But thats just me.

I didn't like the sticky grips and black hands after a ride. That's why I'm wanting the gloves. My wife just bought me some new grips so we will see how they fair. I may still buy some gloves though, I guess we'll see.

Seeing the hands of a rider who went down wearing fingerless gloves was enough for me. The covered parts were okay, but the exposed fingers were all chewed up. Poor guy could not even use a pencil or type on a keyboard.

They beat full fingered gloves into us at motor school and seeing those hands of the rider who went down convinced me of it. Although I did know a motorcop who cut off the very tips of his thumb and first two fingers of his dominant hand glove. It was so he could easily write tickets without having to remove his gloves to work the pen.

I had a pair of the HD fingerless gloves I never used them much. then I lost one so I just use mu lined Hd gunlet gloves better for safety.

I have to admit, fingerless gloves and Bennie (novelty) helmets are two motorcycle items I could never understand If heat is the reason for wearing fingerless gloves, check out gloves with perforated leather, I wear ICON Pursuit gloves in warm weather and love them - http://www.rideicon.com/product_deta...y=1977&id=7882 Without going overboard, I try (within reason) to dress for a fall.

Fingerless gloves = Decaf coffee.

I went down with fingerless gloves. road rash hurts and lot the 24 in on my hip hurt much less than the 1/4" x 1/2" marks on 3 fingertips. That made a believer out of me. leather gloves, even in the summer.
