I got the HG ones:

those ones. They are comfy enough to wear and they do let the air in. On a hot day (when we had one or 2 of them) they were cool enough to be just on the tollerable side. Any cooler and they would have been cold. Even during the night ride home, after midnight, they let enough air through them to keep your hands cool but not cold.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

If you can get past the colour, they are a quality summer glove

I got them in 3XL. They feel light but very supportive. Seems to be a lot of protection on them but it doesn't inhibit movement. I have never had a style of glove like this before though, I am just comparing them to thick leather winter gloves.
