If you have access to an equestrian supply store, look for cloth riding gloves. There is a store here that sell a glove that is like a driving glove with a velcro closure, very close fitting, more of a tough nylon blend, and with little traction dots on them. I have used them for a long time for riding, but now I carry a pair all the time. Best of all - they are cheap. I can't give you a name - they are 'no name' chinese ROC, and the store buys them in bulk from a west coast vendor that gets them along with a bunch of other stuff.
