Default Flying Gloves

Just google "flying gloves". You'll get quite a selection of good military
gloves.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lightweight, but good "grip"
gloves for use when gliding, that would be available in or from the UK?

I'm looking for something with good "feel" and that won't slip from the
stick, or cable release, but that provides a degree of warmth when it's
colder.

I've seen some longer cuff power-pilots gloves in aviation stores, and
eBay, which are beyond wrist-length and have fire-proof uppers with
leather palm/finger areas. I don't think the fire-proos benefit is
necessary (!) and welcome any advice from anyone who may have used those
or other better types.

Thanks,
Neil
