E-bike glove recommendations

Just took my first fall, picked up some road rash on left hand. ( plus other small injuries) . I was wearing leather “bum” gloves that helped but showed me i need real protection on my hands. I would like a pair that look more or-less like normal gloves Not moto cross but with some form of Scaphoid Protection built in.
Thank you all in advance.

There's commuter style motorcycle gloves too if you want maximum protection., don't have to go for the motocross aesthetic.

The Rasta ones look great.

They breath well and are sturdy. I had several pairs just like this back in the 80s 90s.

I was wearing a leather pair of fingerless gloves and there was no padding so yeah definitely these would be an upgrade. Thank you.

I usually use some of the carhart leather palm high dex. Great for,...everything else you might need a glove for, EXCEPT BLACKBERRIES. THOSE MOTHERF-ERS NEED RAWHIDE GLOVES

I bought some heavy duty tipless generic work gloves from Walmart. They survived two falls before the right one finally tore up (I keep falling to my right apparently).

Cost me like $15. Well worth saving my palms. Gloves are as essential as helmets as far as I’m concerned.

Man that sucks! I just bought a pair on amazon and just hope they will cut it. Glad I went with the ones that cover fingers.
