Looking for thin, grippy gloves for cool weather riding (40F to 60F)

Anyone have recommendations for this type of glove? For the past few years I've been using no-name baseball batting gloves, they've worked well.
However a couple fingertips are disintegrating and the specific model is no longer available.

Figure I'll just get the same sort again, but I want to see of there's anything available that people recommend.

Thanks y'all.

I recently got a pair of these and I've been pretty happy with them. They're thin but neoprene so they do a good job in the 45-50F weather here. I like them because they're not too bulky.

I like these from Costco https://www.costco.com/head-men%e2%8...100428847.html They are inexpensive enough that I can have several pair and wash them after each ride.

I have a pair of these: https://www.giro.com/p/dnd-mountain-...es#pid=7099242 in black.
I have issues with cold fingers, these Giro's work great for me in the temp range you suggest. Below 40, I have to start wearing an insulated glove.

I've always found the Pearl Izumi Cyclone glove to be a great mid-weight glove that can handle getting wet and stay warm. Premium price, so I always keep an eye out for the sale rack near the end of winter. I have three pair and rotate them out so they'll last me a while.

I usually just use a pair of thin work gloves for cool weather bicycling. I was gifted a pair of these Milwaukee gloves recently and they work nicely for 50 degree riding.

I have a different pair of Thinsulate work gloves for 40 degree riding, though.

I have several pairs of these and have been using them for years. OP you can't beat the value, and for me they are exactly what you are asking for.

I like these between 40-60F. Between freezing and 40 the fingertips start getting numb.

Bontrager RXL Thermal gloves. No padding, just a thin but tough patch of soft faux-leather on the palm. Really durable. I've had 'em for going on four years, no significant wear even after catching myself on a couple of low speed falls.

When the temp dips below 50 I'll add soft microfiber liners under the gloves. I got the Bontrager gloves in large so there's room for glove liners, but they're not too loose and floppy without the liners. Fine for temps around 40-60, which covered my 40 mile ride yesterday afternoon/early evening.

I prefer stretchy gloves that don't bind my thumbs. Some gloves, including Bontrager winter gloves, bind my thumb a bit which can be uncomfortable on a bike. I prefer to try before I buy, so I'll buy from the local shop if the gloves fit me correctly.

Check hardware stores. Outdoor carpenters want similar gloves.

Also, we have a Winter Forum if you want more cold weather ideas.

You might want to look at the Showers Pass gloves. They look like regular knit gives, have silicone grippers on the palms, come in four colors and they are totally waterproof. I'm happy with them.

I've had good luck with Mechanix gloves. They make different styles for various applications......
