clothing and helmet » Glove recommendations - summer?

My Dainese gloves recently rolled over and died - way prematurely for the ridiculous price - and now have to be replaced.

No dealer of any description anywhere even vaguely close (that has a good selection in stock) so I'm looking for recommendations.

I'm looking for gloves for warm sticky Louisiana weather, as vented as possible and with a decent amount of protection - obviously difficult to have both.

Would prefer shorter gloves. Venting, protection durability and, way down the list, price.

Any suggestions?

I have a pair of these and like them quite a bit.

I use Rukka mesh ones in the height of summer - they're great and tick all your boxes.
Mine are: https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/325118 - although these are discontinued now I assume Rukka still do something similar

I just bought a pair of these the other week, basically the lowest cost I could find, but seem great value for money. Performed well in 23c last weekend, but I expect much hotter than that in Louisiana!
See they are $41.95 on Revzilla.

I wear Alpine Stars SMX-2 and I was suitably impressed at how well they worked when I slide down the road last year. 1 thumb ripped but I suffered nothing more than cut.

For hot days I use the 2022 Klim Induction gloves.
The 2022 version has a nicer feel compared to older Induction gloves.
I like the short narrow cuff that allows air into the riding jacket sleeve.
The Induction gloves are on the right in my picture.

The Klim Induction gloves cost $140

I have been a fan of Held gloves for years. For summer, I wear the 'Tour Guide' model, but I am not sure they are available anymore. They are perforated leather. And they fade! mine are now a streaky dark gray that make me look like an old rider. I might be an old rider....

I used to like air in the sleeve no cuff gloves in the summer until I had a couple of wasps get into my jacket and sting me 😳

Wasps etc up the sleeves is a very good point, and I can imagine is no fun whatever!

Problem here is that, for me at least, the riding season is just about over as it quickly becomes too hot - getting some air up the sleeves is pretty much a requirement, so I suppose you pays your money and takes your chances...
