I age those castellis look worth a try. Those are not the same craft gloves - mine don't have finger pulls and those look to have padding.
The capo pittards say they have foam padding, but I can tell you it is hardly noticeable.

Giro Zero gloves have no padding and might be worth looking into.

And they aren't 5 million dollars (per finger
)!
What about that seam on the palm at the base of the thumb? I ride 90% on the hoods and that's the pressure point for me.

Pearl Izumi Pittards gloves have very little padding. I don't know if theyre available in WSD. I just bought a pair of the men's gloves to use for weight lifting.

Hmm, I haven't seen a PI in years that was thin enough but, then, I haven't been paying attention to road cycling stuff either. Maybe I'll just go hit the PI outlet this week before ordering anything.
Generally, whether a short-fingered road glove has a men's or women's version isn't a concern. Any kind of full finger and, yeah, I have to have a women's version.
In the midst of all this, I've also discovered that I have to replace my Sidi road shoes. With all the winter time running (NOT age!), my feet have grown a bit. Sigh.
Getting some good possibilities in this thread. Thanks, everyone.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Oh - those Giro gloves look great.
I'm using Giro shoes right now and really like them. The red men's Factors are stunning in person. With my huge feet, I didn't have the chutzpah to go for red, so I went for white.
