I use a set of motocross gloves. They all come with palm padding and almost everyone comes with hard plastics over all your knuckles. I've taken spills onto gravel/dirt with em from 20 feet in the air at 35+ mph with only a scrape and bruise.(this is when i used to own a dirtbike) You can get em made outta leather, or for warmer weather made outta mesh. I don't think you can beat the grip level or the protection, but they are on the expensive side(20-30$) from any local motorcycle dealer.
