To clarify, ICON gloves regularly have too long of a thumb for me and they fold in the palm, Oxfords tend to have too narrow fingers, Clover and Spidi last for a season and then they fall apart around the stitches.
I found that Alpinestars tends to have the best fit for my hands (I wear size XXL), and all I have used survived multiple seasons and multiple washes.
Having said all that, the best lightweight glove I've had a chance to use is called REEF. If the styling is a bit too funky for you, look into a glove called COPPER.
Take it with a grain of salt, it is but my personal experience and taste, and good luck!

I concur.
I currently ride with XXL Alpinestars and found it is likely the best or second best glove for daily fit, feel and function.
No salt.
