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.

Well then I suppose you have to go for the red.

I have several pairs of Botranger gloves in a style without *any* padding. I can't find them on line to show you, but they come in women's sizes and cost $40.00. They are never on sale, but I was desperate to find gloves without gel or padding and they are perfect.

I don't know if this meets your needs, but the PI Gel Vent gloves don't have anything I'd call padding. It's really just a piece of plastic that's firm and flexible with a little give.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
