I don't like padding in my gloves and it's hard to find gloves that fit the bill (especially since PI stopped making the Race glove I used to get).

So last week I bought some Craft gloves - turns out they're the "Active" model. These are GREAT.

Very breathable, no velcro closure, no padding - and VERY grippy. They also LOOK prettier than my PI Race gloves, so even if I could get those I would get the Craft instead.

Alas, TE doesn't carry them so here's someplace that does: http://www.bikesomewhere.com/bikesom...4281/21571?g=1

Sizing is generous. I bought the women's large, and they actually FIT!! (I have very big hands, and usually end up in Men's gloves).
