Now to me this looks a lot like the BMW GS branded glove(which I've found to be great) but at a lot better price. Could this be who makes the BMW glove ?
I was looking at getting a BMW pair but thought that they might be a bit warm.
What are your thoughts on them?

Never been any hotter than any other summer glove I've had.

Would you class these as 'Summer' gloves? I find my leather ones a bit warm at times and these look a 'lighter' glove!

Typical held quality and good wrist closure for short gloves. Kangaroo is tough and has great feel.
Not sure if this is cheapest but found one vendor:

I use the Alpinestars SMX 2 AIr Carbon GLoves for summer use - Hong Kong has long hot and humid summers ... leather gloves would be a killer in our climate!
I have gone through a couple of pairs over the last few years - wearing most days of the week during my commute to and from work. Decent quality, never a problem with them ... the leather 'runs' when they get soaked, leaving 'black hands' but that usually happens with most non-waterproof gloves (!) but they dry out quickly if they get wet.

Purchased a pair of these and must say they fit like a glove
Wore them home (50 miles) and they were just right, you can feel the 'airflow' through the mesh. 29 quid well spent IMO, will keep my leather ones in back box for cooler times
Anyone tried the Lindstrands Lagune:

Personally I use Pro Grip 4012 when it's hot:

Why do they insist on making everything look like that?

I often wear light weight 'enduro' type gloves in summer but have to admit that I have no faith in them stying on in an accident as the wrist clasps are always pants
I do, however like the look of those Alpine Stars gloves - I'll be checking those out. What's the wrist fastening like Nick?

Andres,
The fastening on the Weiss ones are velcro and feel good. Like you say the proof of the pudding is in the eating, I hope i never know the answer to that one

I've recently bought my second pair of the Alpinestar's. The first pair are still serviceable, but have been relegated to "spare" pair in my rucksack. The ones I bought are the SP-X, which are a bit OTT for a MX glove, but perfect for summer road riding.

for a pair of gloves 
I need a drink and a sit down......I am sat down.
Try going to a good surplus store and getting some officer tank commander gloves. VERY soft leather, goretex (totally waterproof, I use a pair for stalking too and they are waterproof even when underwater with my weight on them).
Mine were £10 and brand new. I bought two pairs. I think they are now £12.

GS gloves
I found these to be brilliant and have "tested" these! I found the gloves to be short in the wrists some one said the latest pattern have longer cuffs?, this is the only fault I could find. The vents on the knukle part really work too,
traces of dust appear on the hands so they do work.
