Guessing, vented for hot weather riding.
eg

And I'd be interested to know whether any meet the CE so can be legally sold as motorcycle gear.
IIRC, Paul Varnsverry, PPE expert, used to wear kevlar work gloves, e.g.:

Even bland can be a type of character

Re: Recommend me some mesh gloves
I was looking at the very thing myself yesterday.
Decided it was a toss up between Alpinestars SMX-1 Air V2 gloves or Icon airform glove black tan.
In the end I bought nowt as A* are funny on their sizing and I want to have a try before I buy.
If PPE is your 'thing' they're both rated as level 1 against BS EN 13594

Re: Recommend me some mesh gloves
I have a pair of Alpinestars Spartan mesh gloves which have been used for a few years now when it’s proper warm. As they are a shorty glove I tend to wear them locally and not at speed as I prefer my wrists covered in faster rides.
Popping to the shops and riding around behind CBT students is ideal for them
