Gloves

I'm after some decent summer gloves with padding.

I love my 661 Raji's for their thin material and super venting but theres no padding or the actual grip side is too thin so feels uncomfortable after a few downhills. Use my Endura Singletrack and the padding on them is spot on, but they're quite thick and therefore super sweaty.

Anything combining the both?

    Ive got these. They're pretty good.

    It's worth checking them out and trying them on at your local bike shop. The cut and shape of gloves differs between brands, and I find that whilst 661 gloves do fit, they chafe horrendously near the thumb - whilst Endura gloves are incredibly narrow in the finger.
    So, try before you buy, as it's unlikely you'll have the same shape/size hands as anyone who suggests what they use.

    Saved me starting a new thread. Am looking for the same thing - full fingered but lightweight/cool with some decent palm padding, especially by the little finger (ulnar nerve?)

    Have been using some Endura Full Monty gloves but they are on their last legs. Decent padding and ventilation though so may be worth a look. Love my Gore Power SO winter gloves but can't see a summer variant.

    Thanks for that ... anyway, any suggestions on gloves?
