 More Durable than Most May 10, 2008
I wore these last summer during a 3,500 mile ride from Seattle to Coney Island. I was afraid that they would fall apart somewhere in Montana, but they did not. I still use them every day on my commute. They stand up to repeat washings as well as they do regular wear and tear. Love these gloves.
I have to agree with the first reviewer. Go a size larger than what you think you need when purchasing these.
 Good For The Price November 19, 2007
Bought these for riding my mountain bike, obviously not for protection but for extra grip and comfort. The medium sized gloves were just a little too small for my average sized hands. The "gel" actually feels a bit on the stiff side, but not tending towards discomfort. Overall, these gloves get the job done.
Much better than average. August 19, 2007
I bought this glove to fight numbness and it does that pretty well. They aren't as cushy as many gel gloves, but they effectively keep pressure off the medial nerve, and that's a bottom line factor for comfort. I doubt they will last forever, but they seem reasonably durable for their price. I only gave it four stars because P.I. sells upscale versions of this glove.
