Held.
 
So far, I have not found any glove that offers the feel, the comfort and the quality.
 
 
 
Check 'em out.

For mild weather Held Akira and BMW BoxerCup because they fit my long, thin fingers and have good protection in case of a get-off. The Held Steve model fits folks with shorter, thicker fingers.

Held Profi's are my favorite.  
Held Steve's are a good second.

Held certainly gets a nod from me as well. Take a look at the Lee Parks Deer skin gloves as well. I have couple pairs of Belstaff gloves that have been exceptional, too.

I bought a pair of Held Ninja gloves last fall and don't particularly like them. I get a painful hot spot at the base of my right index finger (rough internal seam maybe?). They don't suck, but they're not particularly comfy either, at least not compared to Triumph-branded gloves I wore out after four seasons. Can't say I'm impressed by the quality. I bought them on brand reputation, but can't say I'm happy with the purchase.

Held Ceramic gloves are my favorite.  Super comfortable, high quality supple leather, and good looks and protection.  Hard to find nowadays, only a few dealers still have them in stock, Held discontinued them.

Held Profi's for me.  What I notice most is the roo skin's great feel at the controls.  All my other protective gloves feel clunky and disconnected by comparison.

The most comfy gloves I've ever tried on were the Helimot Buffalo 360 or whatever. Very nice. I tried the Held Profis but my specified size was far too tight... any larger and the fingers were too long. *sigh*

Have to disagree with you here. I had bought a pair of Held steve's and absolutely loved them. But, I had to sell them because they were too long for my fingers.
