Looking for a thin pair of gloves, don't want gel in the hands or out like that
thanks craig
I like Troy Lee ace - best bought in the winter though
or some spesh ones too - forget the name
I've got Lizard skins, love em
Dakine covert are very thin
Endura MTR - not super thin but unpadded and snug fitting
661 raji are my goto thin full finger gloves.
Depends on the bars and grips to an extent. I find the gel pads on my fs260 mits work really well on drop bars, but a bit useless on flat bars, vice versa some MTB gloves fit flat bars but don't work on the road bikes. So don't entirely rule out gel gloves.
ION Dude - thin and grippy
100% iTrack. Was going to get a 2nd pair but CRC sold out of my size.
I trust 100% sizes too. My hand measures as large on their chart, and they always fit nicely. Others seem to class my hands as small by their size chart and I get the gloves and they're way too small.
Another vote for Dakine love mine.
endura singletrack.worn out and getting another pair ASAP. thin and windproof but not protected if ya bin it!
Dakine Insight are very thin. The palm is a silicone mesh that grips well and dries really fast if you a sweaty freak like me.
If you can still get then Dakine Concept are about as thin as you will get.
POC index air are very minimal, great for this time of year, but shop around because they're ludicrously priced. I hate palm padding or any of that nonsense, so I love them. Had mine for 3 years or so and to be fair they've held up really well.
I use poc index air and troy Lee ace. Not much difference between them; troy Lees might be 'airier' but poc work with touchscreen (troy Lee might nowadays too, mine are a couple years old).
How about some motorcycle trials gloves? I tried my mates sons on & they were really thin.
Fox Ranger, and Giro DND are my go to gloves for minimal padding and design.
Dakine Concept. You can actually see through them 😀

Fox Ranger isn't super thin, it's more a normal glove without all the lumps. I like 'em though
certainly not compared to those Dakine ones!!
DND are about the same as Ranger, just a suede palm , but yeah, not super thin
Mechanix Original 0.5 - super thin (0.5mm) palm.
Endura Humvee Lite are nice, especially for £14.
Thin palm with no padding and a mesh back. Box cut fingers as well which should make them more durable.
Decathlon. Not much to them to be fair - use them for road/mtb
Fist BMX gloves. Thin and eye catching.
Endura Hummvee Lite
Madison Alpine
Endura Singletrack Lite
Troy Lee Ace
Had all the above and would recommend
I bought three pairs of the Madison Alpine off Sports Pursuit for £20 the lot. Super minimal but great for summer riding. Also have a pair of the Endura Singletrack Lite which again are a decent lightweight glove.
Fox Fleaxair are the lightest and breathable gloves from the Fox range. I get on with them really well and I'm a sweater!
Loving my 100% gloves - the track ones I think
I've got a pair of Leatt DBX 1.0 GripR's. Lycra-like on the knuckle side, thin suedeish on the palm with mesh between the fingers. Fit my hands very well and quite breezy.
TSG Hunter gloves. And they look ace:

+ 1 for Troy lee ace. Fit like a proverbial
Defeet. Work with smart phones. Around £15. Great for running in too. They are so good pro riders wear them and have their sponsor logo stitched on or just take the hit for wearing competitors brand. Work down to around freezing I find.
Galibier Contact gloves, and of course you get to go FULL GAS https://galibier.cc/product/contact-full-finger-glove/
Found it!!!
100% cerium or celium or something like that.
Was always a 'o gloves unless it's freezing' kind of guy, but after skinning my palms twice in two weeks I decided to glove up. Happy with these, they're quite a lot like not wearing gloves.
Royal Racing Race Glove is nice and thin. Currently on offer at CRC too.
I like Specialized Lodowns - can be picked up for £6 from Specialized direct (plus £1.99 p&p)- bargain if they've got your size/preferred colours.
Endura Humvee Lite are very nice thin unpadded glove - as close to riding glove less as Iv'e found.
