Best Hot Weather Glove

[Wheelie]

We are to purchase some new gloves for our Africa trip and would like some input that can ease our selection.

To me the perfect gear is not necessarily the "safest gear" in its original context. If the safety gear is too uncomfortable or impractical, I always get a little relaxed in using it, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place. Also, fighting uncomfortable gear while riding can be a safety hazard in itself, as is becoming tired from being uncomfortable for lengths at a time.

As such, my gloves need to be a compromise of safety, comfort and convenience. Although I am not made of money, I try not to let it become an issue when choosing safety gear. Eventhough looks are not overly important, when all other performance attributes are similar among available choices, I may chose to pay more for the one that looks ok.

Any suggestions or comments?
