This will be more for when I want to head out to work or to shoot some pool and want something that breathes a little.

I like the cortech ones and saw them up there. How well do they breathe?

Really well actually. They get awfully cold below, say, 45 degrees. As long as you're moving, your hands will stay cool in 90+ degrees. I had black, so sitting in traffic my hands got hot. Rode with them in the rain, and the color never bled.

Cortech also has a semi shorty (whatever you want to call it) similar to the A* Octane S-Moto. More protection than a true short cuff, but less fighting to get on and off compared to full gauntlet.
