I liked my 2012 Answer gloves...not sure on 2014 version. Durable + all of your above criteria.
I like the 661 Raji.
There's a One Industries Vapor glove on steepandcheap right now which ticks all your needs for under $12.

I liked those except for the part where the disintegrated in about 3 minutes,
Thanks for the suggestions to everyone who isn't CrabJoe.
Awwwww man. 
I came to recommend the Giro DND. Picked up a few pair since they were cheap, and they've been great. I wear them tight, so there's no bunching of the palm. They have really good feel.
I've been using a pair of Endura Singletrack II. I guess they have a small pad in the heel, but I haven't noticed it.

have you checked out the tld air gloves ?
I like the Dakine Coverts but I also have had pairs of 661, Giro, and Fox and all are pretty solid.
I get whatever is on special...all they end up doing is wiping up snot, blood and beer anyway...sometimes all in one swipe.
The Nemas are cheap and meet your requirements, no Velcro sucks ass, hated mine and used them for digging.

I've seen others use mechanic's gloves. I'm partial to Fox Digit. They fit my hand well, and that is important to me.
pearl izumi were the best gloves i´ve ever used.
scott second. dakine third.
fox were the worst.

I use mechanix gloves. Catch a lot of crap for it but I like them a lot and keep getting more when mine wear out without looking at anything else. They come in various colors, comfortable, no padding, some models have no velcro.. and I love them!
I burned through two pair of Answer gloves in the last year. Just ordered the Giro DND's last week. Haven't got them yet. The Answer gloves weren't that great and i ended up using them more for trail work than anything.

I have Pearl Izumi nothing special but they have life time warranty.
Fox Head I will never buy again. Crappy customer service and quality that just doesn't match price.

Try these
I don't think they fit and will will shrink if they get wet.
Kali Hasta gloves tick all the boxes you listed.
I had to purchase a set of these gloves last summer when I arrived at DH hill without gloves like a rookie. I'm happy I did, because they turned out to be great gloves.
I need to find them on sale as I (like a rookie once again) left them at a different trail head later in the summer.
The only downside I found with mine was the colour. I'm not a fan of white palmed gloves that look like I wiped my ass with them after one ride.
However, tld sizes seem to run about a full size the small side. I wear an xl or 11 in any brand, but an xl tld fits really snug. YMMV.
Agree on the sizing. The TLDs seem to be tighter in the same size of other gloves. They seem to stretch after a few rides though.
