Full finger gloves or short finger gloves?
https://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Glove+04.aspx I own a pair of these and they're nice except they were a bit too big for me and I preferred fullfingered gloves.
12 dollars? Here they're 45 euros.

Got that from JensonUSA. I'd say go to your LBS and try them on.
FYI, I'm 13 and have average size hands and I wear size S Fox Sidewinders and they're perfect.

Well I was at a Target store (store in the US) picked up some birthday cards, and I tried some Schwinn medium.. short finger gloves on but they were a little big they didn't have any in small. So I figure I need small ones.

I find my Thor MX glove are awesome, kevlar tipped fingers, and double padded palms, they work very nice, and I don't mind if my hands sweat a bit when it gets into the hotter weather.

The good thing is you only realise your hands are sweating when you take the gloves off so remember guys - Fox Sidewinders are great, just don't take them off 'till the end of the ride.

I paid $13 for Answer Accelerator gloves, full finger. They're pretty nice for the price.
