Thin, full finger xc glove

+1 for 100%. Model Airmatic that is. :sunglasses:

Agree.

I use Roeckl gloves.

Lots of gloves do the top well. In fact the top doesn’t matter as much as the venting of the palm/fingers. They need to vent the moisture. Second, does the palm asorb moisture and expand? You don’t want the palm wrinkling and messing up your palm.

I use Giro Xnetic Trail Glove all year

Another vote for Handup. I like unpadded gloves and use Handup on all of my bikes for all disciplines. They have good sales too.

Another vote for the Handup Gloves.

Their Vented Light gloves should be what you want.

pedal industry’s does a good very light one…i have 3 pairs and just rotate them

Thanks so much! You all are fantastic. Some of these I had already looked at but don’t have any local place to try them, others I hadn’t even heard of. Lots of great recommendations. Now to order a few and see how they fit / feel.

I use these on the track. work well!

These are great! They’re thin and close fitting so you may need to go up a size. I wear these for the road and always pick up a pair or two during sales.

I’ve been wearing these Tasco gloves almost exclusively for awhile now. They’re thin, light, and actually holding up great. I used to like Giros and Hand Ups, but I felt like quality on both was 50/50.

I’d also endorse the Leatts. No velcro, fit well, sturdy and long lasting.

I use giyo gloves from AliExpress that are probably a knockoff of a giro glove. They’re thin and fit my hands, I normally wear size 11 work gloves.

Another vote for Leatt. I wont go back to anything else. They fit snug, dont move around, and have good grip and ventilation. Ive gotten them with and without padding and prefer the ones without, especially for racing.

This was going to be my recommendation, latest update got rid of different fabrics that make it look cheap after a couple washes imo.

100 per cent Celium for me, they last ages too. Or the sling even thinner.

I was going to say the same thing, also bought at a shop while traveling, best gloves I’ve ever used.

100% Sling is super thin and don’t bunch up (for my hands).
