Recommendations for lightweight gloves

Looking for recommendations for a lightweight pair of gloves for the upcoming spring/summer season. I've got two different pairs of Alpinestars and they're okay. But I find them to be ill fitting (bunch up in areas) and uncomfortable. Any suggestions?

 

These are my summer/fair weather gloves. Super comfortable. Probably not the most breathable out there, but I'd rather keep the skin on my palms than go with some mesh POS.

What is your price range? Summer glove prices can range anywhere from $20 up to over $300 so it's really dependent on how much protection you want.

Revzilla just did a series of reviews for gloves this week, check out their website, it might give you some ideas.

I use deerskin gloves - Watson Brand - Cheap / Nice fit / Not like cow in rain after affects / Thin / No stitching anywhere on the inside of hand !! ...and Canadian...

I'm sure there are many brands like this everywhere but great glove for the price and they are pretty tough as I have tested between skin and asphalt...

I love my Held Rodney gloves for about $100

 

Some of the held gloves are made partially of kangaroo hide. My first pair was given to me by a friend. Now on pair two. They were on special at the Seattle CW show for about $150.00

One of the characteristics of deer hide is that it can be washed and doesn't get slick when wet.

A guy in my MC club has a rat Triumph and a Thurlow deerskin jacket. (Thurlow I think is OOB) He says he is the only guy in the club whose jacket is worth more than his bike.

Some gloves go a bit far on styling. Kind of like Godzilla vs. The Transformers.
