I have worn strictly these styles/models of gloves for the last 3 or 4 years so I can't really relate directly to reducing or affecting arm pump.I like to have snug gloves and want minimum bunching and slipping in the palm side of the glove, something that is without a lot of ridges, seams, and overlap to help with gripping the bars, and having better feel for my own liking.
Deft family has two different styles, velcro closure or slip on. I prefer the velcro slightly over the slip on just for personal preference when fitting but still have several pairs of each. The palms are all one piece with only a double layer on the inside of the thumb. I do use grip donuts but no problem with blisters. I would say these are my favourite gloves to ride in, snug and no bunching. The TLD Air has a top section material that allows air flow, more than any other glove I've worn. If you have sweaty hands, these are the ones for you. TLD SE Pro is basically the air without as breathable of a top section.
All three pairs are very similar. I wouldn't say that the SE is for cold weather it just doesn't vent/flow as much air into them. I like my Defts just due to the lesser amount of material and fit it of the glove. All three gloves are snug fitting and cut down on the bunching giving myself a better feel for the bars. As far as reducing arm pump, maybe the less bunching cuts down on hand fatigue and in turn arm pump?
If your looking to reduce arm pump, I say more forearms at the gym and better stretching before moto.
