[RC] Cool gloves for hot weather? - Aaron Turnage

Anyone have a good recommendation for some gloves that aren't too hot?  I usually wear gloves in the winter but in the summer I notice that not only do my hands get very warm, but the rest of my body gets much hotter when I wear gloves.  I'd like to find some nice cool gloves for that first morning loop when my horse is a little more ambitious than I would like.  =)  Any recommendations?  Has anyone tried the new spandex pull-on gloves that Long Riders Gear is now carrying?  I think they were called Foxwoods or something like that....
 
Read a very interesting article the other day (can't remember where now) about a new Core Body Temp cooler that works by holding a very chilled metal cylinder in a small vacuum environment.  Seems this is the next big thing in pro and college sports.  Scientists were able to prove they could very effectively cool and or warm the body core just by chilling or warming someone's palms.  Maybe that's why I can't usually stand gloves in the summer, I have a hard enough time with the heat.  Here's a similar article:
