I haven't worn cycling gloves in over 20 years, but now that I am doing some MTB rides when on some routes my hands are smacking into trees & bushes.
Gloves seem prudent.
Can anyone recommend a breathable full finger glove? I don't want my hands getting too hot.
My LBS doesn't have anything, so whatever I get will have to be ordered.

I like the Giro DND glove. 4-way stretch, minimal padding, and cheap.

I've been using handup gloves. No padding with some funky designs!

Pretty happy with my Fox gloves. Think they were around $20 on ebay. Buddy uses Troy Lee Designs and likes them.

+1 This.
Seriously, go to Home Depot and look at their work gloves. Many styles and colors. Most actually look like cycling gloves, just a bit beefier. And you can get them for about $10.
As to similar applications, one of my sons picked up a pair of their beefy leather gloves, cut off the fingers and uses them for weight lifting gloves. They do look badass.

At that price it's definitely a good 1st glove to try, and Lowes and Home Depot are just down the street!

I use these year round in the Tucson heat. I bought half a dozen pairs of white ones from Art's on blowout a few years ago for $6 each (presumably because white is a dumb idea) and have only gone through a single pair, I retired them because they were really thin, no holes or rips.
Mechanix gloves one hunnerd percent.

These are a favorite of mine too. What I have been using lately is Velocio MTB/trail gloves. They have more padding are of higher quality.

Handup!
I have a few pairs, really comfortable and fun designs.
Use code BOBO2017 to save 10%.

We have been using 100% gloves for a few years now. No palm padding and they don’t ride up my hands while climbing like Handups.

Gloves are generally the first stage of the mountain biker emerging from the roadie chrysalis. Let us know when you need shorts and pads recommendations. :)

I don't ride mountain bikes, but I love my Cuero short finger gloves. I noticed recently that they now sell full fingered gloves (https://www.cuerogloves.com/shop/cuero-cycling-full/). If I was in the market for such a thing, I'd take a look.
