Any suggestions? I've always shot with a glove and I love my glove. But with the warmer weather it does get a little sweaty at times. So I thought id give it a try. Not all gloves are created equal and I figure tabs are the same way. I prefer something a little thick because of an old injury to  my middle finger. I shoot split finger.

When I was experimenting with tabs the one I liked the best was the one Rod Jenkins sells. Very comfortable and well made.

I use the Saunders Pak-Tab.

I really like the Neet tabs (slick leather or hair)with the cushioned finger spacer. Been shooting 'em forever, tried others but keep on shooting the Neets. I get them from The Footed Shaft and I believe they're a great tab at a great price...

my favorite so far is the neet cordovan tab.  only $9 and very comfortable.  It is the only one I have really liked thus far.  

I have smaller hands and I can't stand a lot of material in my palm, which is why I like that one.  I also liked the saunders pack tab Bisch speaks of.  I just can't get him to share one with me.  ;)

I like the Bateman Cordovan tabs, my favorite is a prototype Tom Jr from rmsgear made, I'm going to cry if I ever lose it!

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

Y'all recommend one with or without the spacer?
I'm leaning toward the felt spacer like Rando.

Many tabs come with a spacer.  It can be removed if you don't like it.  If you have no problem with pinching the nock with your glove, you probably won't need the spacer but again, it can be removed if you like.

Bateman is my choice but if u want a thicker tab,try a Black Widow.

Bateman cordovan for me.  Tried a bunch of others.

Bateman for me as well  When you find the style "they offer many" that you like get two. One as a spare because the other will likely never wear out.

I like the Bateman, but don't like the elastic they use. I convert them to a ring using an o-ring. I don't think you can wear them out.

My favorite tab was cut from the toe leather of an old pair of skateboarding shoes. it is two layers of suede. I traced one of my other tabs and superglued the two pieces of shoe together. It really works nicely. (as long as I don't anchor near my nose)

I have tried a Bateman cordovan, it was ok.  But like you I wanted a little thicker tab.  I was in RMSG a couple of weeks ago and Tom and I were talking about tabs.  I looked at the Black Widow leather tab.  It looked like what I wanted so I took it home.  So far I am very pleased with it and like it better than the Bateman tab.

I would describe it as thicker than the Bateman but not too thick.
