    Your choice for summer touring gloves?

    I tend to carry a couple of pairs of gloves on long trips, but I don't have any that I would classify as summer touring gloves. Most of the gloves I own are geared toward colder weather. I have a couple pairs of summer weight gloves, but they are not comfortable enough to wear for a 700+mile day.
    What is your preference for summer touring gloves, and why?

    Thanks for your advice,
    Jeff

    I seem to end up with Icon gloves and just bought these...have worn them numerous times and they're going to be my summer gloves. Comfortable, they breathe, and they're short on the wrist.

    Castles

    Old pair of Castle fingerless gloves I have had for 8 years or more, they are comfortable in warm weather and do what I want them to do while riding around the area.

    I had a pair of perforated fingerless gloves I wore a couple summers. Didn't really like them too much. Mechanic has some duty gloves I've been wearing last two years. Price is good and they hold up well.

    PowerTrip Grand National gloves -- knuckle protection and studs on outside edge of palm. Great protection and good price for the quality (about $50). Lots of dye leakage in first few uses but that disappears soon enough. Worth a look.

    Lee Parks makes a great summer glove. Comes with seams inside or a different model with the seams sewn on the outside. I have mine for 5 years now. Well worth it.

    Held Emotion gloves are my summer gloves. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

    I bought these for myself and I have purchased three more pair for family and friends. They are lifetime guarantee. I go back to my local Cycle Gear store every year and get a new pair (free of charge). The only $40 you will ever spend on gloves.

    I use these as well. Went down to the local shop and tried on a dozen or so different gloves and settled on these by Icon.
