As title.
I'm looking for some full-finger gloves with no padding in the palms. All the gloves I've used/seen so far have some sort of padding somewhere on the palm.
Not necessarily looking for warm gloves, something light/medium weight would be fine.
Subtle and dark colours/design rather than in-yer-face too, if possible.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Hmm I have the opposite problem - unless you're talking XC gloves they all come unpadded (AM/DH ones). Giro, Oakley, Fox, 661 etc. all make lots of unpadded long-fingered gloves.
sealskinz? except the ones i've got are dayglo yellow
fox sidewinder... brilliant gloves. not too warm, and very durable - the palms are just single thickness leather (or leather like stuff).
Just got some Giro Remedys. Super thin real leather palms, the tiny amount of padding is not on the bit you grip with. It also has good protection on the fingers.
Troy Lee XC... I buy them 3 pairs at a time...
Mechanix? Designed for spannering, but also work as a thin ride glove. Madison do them, so widely available.
I have some Fox ones very well protected and has no
padded palms.
Agree with the Fox. Have a pair which are starting to fall apart (after 3 years use). They're like the old Rocket Parts gloves if you remember them. Brill.

Most Fox gloves are leather palmed, no padding, and they do make exceedingly good gloves. Not a padding fan here either, they just make me feel disconnected.
Cheers folks, that's given me a few to look into.
I've been riding with Specialized BG gloves of various models for the past few years and still get sore hands on longer days. Makes sense to try something new now that I need gloves.

Kona Supreme are good, lightweight, no padding, been using them for a few years now all year round.
Troy Lee GP Glove has been my fave to date... seems to last too! Year old and in very good nick - I've trashed sombrios in a few weeks...
Dakine Ventilator?
Lewiskit do some excellent winter non-padded gloves
Endura Singletracks?
Sombrio do some great unpadded gloves.
I picked up some Fox Digit gloves on ebay last night for £8/pair. Fair enough they're not subtle (black and red) but at that price I'll give them a try. Look like a previous model year perhaps but I'm not fussed.
There's still a couple of pairs left for sale (Rutland Cycling IIRC)...
661 airflow
Sombrio Forensic
661 D30
