Thinner lobster gloves for a taped broken pinky?

Broken my pinky meaning I've got my two fingers taped for the next 6 weeks. Have a thick pair of sealskin lobsters that are fine for winter, but it's starting to heat up a bit, so wondered if anyone knew of any thinner gloves with the same finger combo? Or will I need to get the sewing machine out and butcher a pair of my Gripgrabs?

When i did mine, I would just tape over my normal mtb gloves.

Just use an old pair as they end up getting sticky.

I've been there, twice.
I simply rode with conventional gloves taped on the outside and re-taped my fingers after finishing the ride. I also found that riding trails prompted a startlingly quick healing process, although it was quite painful for me, the first three days. After that it settled very quickly, less and then no pain; fully healed in two weeks.

Thanks both...I feel like a bit of an idiot now, having not thought about doing it that way around ๐Ÿ˜€ . Will give that a bash!
