any suggestions?
I noticed there is a *huge* variation in price for similar style gloves, for example:

this
Cortech Carbon Comp II gloves... full gauntlet, good quality leather and stitching, hard armor protection, very well ventilated, and you can find them online in the price range you are looking at or less. I love mine, they fit well and the ventilation works great.

I just bought a pair of Marsee Motorcycle Race Gloves I haven't gotten them yet, but you can read the review if you'd like.
Cost me ~$86, so a little on the high side of your proposed budget.

Ditto.
They have a great finish, have the carbon knuckle protectors which I think are a must and are good in warm and slightly cooler temperatures.
