Motorcycle gloves are a 22,000-search US query and the piece of gear people skip because the weather is nice. Palms hit first in a low-side. Goat or cowhide with a palm slider and a hard knuckle beats a gym glove.
Summer mesh gloves still need a full leather palm. Winter gloves add insulation and a rain membrane; they also need enough feel for the front brake. Gauntlet cuffs go over the jacket. Short cuffs leave a strip of wrist uncovered when you fall.
Fit: snug through the fingers, no bunching at the palm, closure you can do with the other gloved hand. Touchscreen fingertips fail after a season — that is normal. Fingerless and "half gloves" do not belong on the street.
Replace after any slide. A used glove with a hole in the palm already did its job for someone else.
