If you're looking for full-finger gloves, the Fox Digits are the best I've used. You can usually find them for about $25 thru mail order. They're nicely vented, have padded palms, and with an occasional washing will last for years. They do have the look of a mountain bike glove, with some bulky protection on the top of the fingers. If that's not what you want, I'd look at some of Fox's other gloves (they have models that are "plainer" looking than the Digits, or some with more padding and protection), they're not overly expensive, and at least in the case of the Digits, they'll last several times longer than cheaper gloves..........I don't know if you read "Dirt Rag" magazine, but the "Dirt Rag" gloves are actually re-branded Fox Digits-
