I asked PDW and got a response:
Hey Cameron. There is essentially no padding. There's one spot with two layers of leather, and that's as padded as they get. When we were trying these out I thought we settled on lite padding. I guess I was mistaken! I guess I'm fine with this however. My favorite cool weather gloves have no padding and I've never missed it. Yesterday I got an email from someone telling us these gloves were all wrong because there's no padding. There's no pleasing everyone, so don't bother trying.

Neal, I need to share my snot rocket technique with you.

I like my cheapo Planet Bike gloves. I got tired of dealing with the hook & loop, so I used a seam ripper to take it off. Shockingly they still fit fine. Padding is thin and even, very comfortable.

I like the gloves that @Korina likes. They're inexpensive and comfortable. Funny how some of us like crocheted backs better than the new styles. One reason for me is that my hands seem to sweat a lot, and if I don't hang up my gloves right after riding, they get awfully stinky. The crocheted back is better than the synthetic fabric common on most bike gloves.

These padded gloves are $14+tax. Bought two pair. After a year, the first pair still looks/feels great. (ymmv.) And no logos!
