I've tried the Descente which have good gel cover across palm but the synthetic leather disintegrated after 12-15 wears and a few gentle hand washes. Agree with the Pearl Gel Lite comments... not for me.
Looking for a tough half finger glove that can handle commuting with hands on hoods, fingers close to brake levers going over bumps a lot. Need a good solid thumb gusset and gel all the way to the thumb edge which is why the descente's were good. It's mighty hot here in sunny Qld so maybe the Louis Garneau M-Vents or the Air Stream - are they new? Any suggestions/experiences appreciated.

I have Nike gloves that I don't like, so I guess that can help you eliminate one. I know eventually I'll lose 'em, so then they'll get replaced.
I have a hard time finding comfortable gloves because I have large hands for a woman. In fact, my winter (noncycling) gloves are actually men's gloves because the women's extra large the store had didn't come close to fitting.
