all through the summer i wear short gloves and it's mint, a bit more air, granted they are thinner summer richa items wi carbon knuckles but it's no different. i've allways found it better to go shopping for gloves and take the jacket you'll wear with you to make sure you the right cuff though. i have 4 jackets, 2 leather, 2 textile and each one has it's own pair of gloves so whatever the weather i've got something suitable, rain, cold, boiling hot and somewhere in between. invest in a mix of clothing if you can over a period of time and you'll never get caught out unexpectedly.
