I am another who does not like a ton of padding on my gloves. I want to know what the road surface is. I also do not like to spend a lot of money on gloves. I feel it is tempting Murphy. Gloves are what get sacrificed in crashes. Spend a lot on them and Murphy might take notice. (I don't mind the $$s spent so much, I do mind the aftermath of crashes - a lot.) While Performance was going concern. I liked their glovest. Cheap, durable and comfortable. Still have a couple of pairs.

Add me to the list of crochet-glove fans. I'm still using a pair of Nashbar-branded gloves but have been looking for something to wear once these have retired. I tried the Planet Bike Tourus gloves a couple years ago and was very disappointed with them. Today I ordered a pair of the Aerius "Retro Mesh". They look like exactly what I want. I'll report back to say whether I like them or not.

I'm still using an old pair of Performance gloves that just refuse to wear out. I used them for a year with my trekking poles while hiking 5-6 days a week and now for 14 months cycling 4-7 days a week. They are close to indestructable, have very little padding and were cheap. Wish I'd have purchased a few pair.
