So I'm thinking of getting different cycling gloves, the fingerless warm weather kind. I've been using a Novara pair of gloves for about 3 years & they get totally saturated with palm sweat in the first hour of any ride. If I have to take them off & back on again during a ride they're clammy to the point of feeling gross. Recommend for me a glove that stays dry please.
Thanks!

You got to wash them once in awhile.

My First pair lasted 45,000 miles.

I use cheap Zookki gloves off amazon. Picked up a pair of full finger gloves for spring riding and liked em enough to get half finger gloves.
They were $9, but like most stuff on amazon the price probably fluctuates.

Theybare gloves and work as well as a $30 pair ive had.

I use wrist bands. This slows down the sweat from getting to my gloves. I use Pearl Izumi Select Gel gloves. Use you can rinse them out during the ride and they dry some while you ride if you keep the sweat away with wrist bands.

Great idea...

I used to tour with gloves but no matter what in a couple of days they are a stinky mess. Double wrap bars if you want extra shock absorption.

You have to regularly wash stuff to keep it reasonably clean: shorts, headbands/headsweat/etc, socks, gloves, shirt - pretty much in that order of criticality. Carrying spares is helpful.

I have found helmet padding/liners to be especially difficult to keep stink-free, even with diligent cleaning. Years ago I simply started ripping out all those foam bacteria-magnet pads shortly after helmet was new. I use various Coolmax type head covers to provide helmet padding, sweat control and UV protection, and these can be easily washed clean.

WRT gloves I like ones with terrycloth backing, so I can easily wipe sweat/snot/spit away from face while riding. Unfortunately these are hard to find. I stockpile Performance Terry gloves whenever they are on sale:

salt is deliquescent/hygroscopic, absorbs moisture from the air.
you gotta rinse the salt out of your gloves periodically.

I went gloveless and couldn't be happier. On hot days, I tie a bandana to the bar or leave it just inside the bar bag.

I also replaced the stinky pads in my helmet with a bandana. It's easier to wash, keeps the sun and bugs out, dunk it in water in cold weather, dries fast, and you have a bandana for other use.

i use cheap gloves from Costco , they work fine.

There are only a couple of ways of avoiding sweaty gloves. The first is to drink so little water that you don't sweat. The second is to not wear gloves. One is hazardous to your health and the other is personal choice.

But, in all honesty, you are participating in an aerobic activity and you are going to sweat. The sweat has to go somewhere. Learn to live with it or don't drink water

in my opinion, your best best is to visit a number of bike stores and try on diff gloves. Some have thinner material on top, and some have thinner padded areas. If you are that much of a sweater, then it makes sense that quicker drying gloves will work better for you, and you will not be able to determine these qualities by looking at an online photo of said gloves.
