OK, so this is probably politically incorrect, but hey, I am in the tropics afterall...
It's always warm (hot) here. The only variation is how much rain we get each day (monsoon season = 4 hrs/day or normal season = 1 hr/day).
So in dry weather I actually found a short pair of leather horse-riding gloves. No gauntlet, tough leather, very comfy and easy to still turn knobs, etc.
For wet riding I have a pair of Scorpion Racing 4x4 winching gloves. They are neoprene with a tough synthetic leather palm and fingers.
OK, so they are obviously not as safe as proper motorcycle riding gloves, but I found that when I had "proper" gloves I never wore them, they were too big/too hot/looked dumb and I only put them on for "serious" rides.
But statistically, you are more likely to come off when you are just running down the street to buy a loaf of bread for the wife...
So this is better than nothing for me I guess. At least with these gloves, I put them on EVERY time I get on the bike.
