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.

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.

If you are looking towards minimalist or unpadded, why not ride glove free?

Hmm. I didn't realize those were a thing of the past. I have a reserve pair NWT I'd let go if you are partial to them. I also use these and slightly prefer them to the Nashbar ones.
