Since there's no TE for men...

I'm hoping some of you with SO's of the male persuasion (or who wear men's gloves - I used to) might be able to chime in on a recommendation for gloves.

DH's much beloved bike gloves were left in a hotel on his birthday weekend. The hotel found them, but they have not made their way back to us (and it's not looking likely that they will). They were either not mailed or lost in the mail (no way to tell, sadly). So, he's looking for replacement gloves.

His requirements are:

1) No padding (or very thin padding). Certainly no gel.
2) Loops between the fingers to make the gloves easy to pull off.
3) Preferably under $40 (Looks like some Castellis would be a good fit, but I can't find them for less than $50).

Any recommendations or gloves your SO's have really liked?

Many thanks!

Capos; they cost 40.00

Keep an eye on Chainlove.com, they have Castelli gloves occasionally.

The Castelli logo gloves list for $30.
I just wore a pair on today's ride (I fall into the "wears men's gloves b/c women's gloves are too small" category).

Cool - thanks The Logo gloves were one we were considering. Will keep an eye on chainlove to see what pops up

Etxe Ondo used to make something similar

Craft - similar but with even less padding (MP bought a pair this weekend but I don't know the model)

Craft Active. My new favorite glove (since PI stopped making the PI Race with no padding.) These are GREAT.

I use the Castelli Simple gloves. I have never used the Logo gloves. But the Simple gloves also have the loops between the fingers and they aren't made of the strongest material. If you use them to pull off the gloves they will eventually get stretched out and break. I also noticed that someone had a similar experience with the Logo gloves.

I have the women's Castelli glove, the Maya glove. While I like it -- no padding, vented palm, pretty, etc, and I think they're constructed fairly well -- the black palms are fading onto my white bar tape . I wrote Castelli an email about this actually, just to let them know that the dye is not fast... I'm miffed because I actually like the gloves a lot but now I am going to need to replace my NEW bar tape pretty soon, and I HATE taping my bars because I'm no good at it...
