Need fingerless glove recommendations

Managed to lose my old, worn fingerless road gloves last weekend.

Looking for recommendations on a replacement pair. I tend to favor minimalist, unpadded varities.

The old ones I lost were Velocio. A bit pricey, but I liked them and they lasted 5-6k miles.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks.

Cuero. I picked up a couple of pairs during an early production run. Lovely.

I'm partial to De Marchi Leggero gloves. Very breathable, no added padding.

2nded. Cuero gloves from Jason at Recovered Cycling. Best and most comfortable gloves I've ever owned, they also don't wear out.

I like gloves that have the loopy pull tab in between the fingers. These are not my Chibas but just to show you what I mean.

I like my cuero but i think the size of my hands must be weird. I followed the instructions on how to size myself, and came up with Medium, after riding medium, i found they were too tight. Whoever runs Cuero(theyre on the forum) is a great guy and let me swap out the used pair for a Large. Theyre still a little tight but not a huge issue. I like them a lot. Worth the money. Get they cleaning and conditioner as well.

Specialized Grail could be worth a look.

They do have a small amount of leather in the palm.

I wear the long finger version.

I now buy cheap ones off ebay or AliExpress. They work fine as long as they don't fall apart too quickly - and they usually don't. It's easy to overthink gloves.

Cheap and cheerful.

I like the Cuero gloves as well. I recently got a pair of the Specialized grail short finger gloves to use mountain biking. I've grabbed them a few times for the road and rather like the placement of the (minimal) padding better than most other gloves I've tried in the past. Worth a try perhaps. Quality on the Cuero is super. I have Giro minimalist gloves and never use them since getting the Cuero.
