Coyote never mentioned that fingerless gloves cushion the palms of your hands. Helps if vibration in the handle bars bothers you. Fingerless gloves are cooler, nice for warm weather.
I wasn't wearing any gloves I hit a deer. Fingerless gloves would have saved the skin on my hands (and chaps would have saved my knees).

They look cool and you just can't put a price tag on cool.

When I wear then I like the deer skin kind. Way nicer than the cow hide.

My favorite summer riding gloves are Hugger Summertime gloves. They work well between 55 and 120 degrees.

Hugger sent me these by accident when I ordered some fingerless gloves and I found I like them better most the time. When it gets over 110 the hot wind can make the fingernail beds hurt a bit.

That's a helluva deal for custom made gloves.

I don't buy much from HD Moco if I can help it. Way overpriced most the time unless you can get stuff on sale sometimes.

You really should go with the hybrid look. One finger chopped off your shootin' hand so you can bust a cap in somebody's ***.

And it makes picking your nose a lot easier.
