I don't recall which set they are, but a couple are kinda mesh, I have them in both half and full finger. Stood up to years of abuse so far.
I recently bought a pair of Specialized XC Lite full-fingered gloves, for two reasons: I wanted full finger coverage, and I didn't want any padding. These gloves succeed, in both. They're pricey, and, if I hadn't already made the purchase, I'd've gone for a pair of full-fingered, unpadded,
golf gloves... next time.
PS: I bought mine from Pedal Power, in Acton, MA (found them on their website).
