I'd like a half-finger version of the Bontrager RXL Thermal full finger gloves I've had for a couple of years. No padding, just a faux-leather palm to minimize wear and protect from road rash (it works, tried it on an impromptu basis). The rest of the material is just wicking poly fabric, also remarkably durable and abrasion resistant. While it's advertised as a cool weather glove it's comfortable year 'round.

Unfortunately their half-finger RXL glove isn't made the same. It uses real leather palm pieces. I'd rather have the faux-leather, which can be washed without problems. And the upper material isn't the same.

Nothing wrong with the RXL Thermal material used on the long finger glove for summer wear, even in Texas -- it breathes well, and basically the entire back of the glove is fine for wiping my face and nose so it doesn't need a special feature.

I may just get a second pair of the long fingered version in a smaller size. I got large the last time, which fits a little loosely but has room to wear a pair of thin ski glove liners for most moderately cold rides.
