In a past life, I was issued a couple pair of "official" military
flight
gloves. The green Nomex kind with the thin, soft leather palms. The
gloves, and the Nomex long-johns, were considered expendable and handed
back to me when I turned in the rest of my flight gear.
The palms of the gloves show some wear and tear -- little nicks here
and
there in the leather -- but are otherwise serviceable. I can push any
button, flip any switch, and turn any knob on the instrument panel while
wearing them. In the cockpit they are reasonably warm. Outside, in wind,
they need additional help. I don't frequent surplus stores, but if you can
find a pair of those gloves they are my reccomendation.



You can find these leather-palmed Nomex gloves at Brigade Quartermaster's.
You can get them in black, tan, green with black leather palms and green
with light grey leather palms. web page showing them:
