I used to wear short gloves too, because I didn't like how the gauntlet interacted with my jacket.
That is until I had my wreck in '03.. one of my gloves went MIA, and the other rode up and I still have a nice little scar on the back of my hand from road rash (on the hand that still had a glove). But whatever floats your boat...
