I don't wear gloves in warm weather very much any more. I do wear full-finger gloves when it gets too cold for bare hands. I've been told I'll be sorry I'm not wearing gloves if I crash and skid down the road on my hand(s) but so far that hasn't happened. I've found that I'm just as comfortable without gloves as I am with them. I did a week long 450 mile tour last summer and never once wore gloves. Sometimes I do miss the sweat/snot absorbtion capability of the gloves though.
