I'm on my second pair of these gloves. They're comfortable, give a great connection to the bars, and durable - I've crashed from time to time in these gloves and they've held up better than any other glove I've owned. They also have good dexterity, allowing me to work on my bike, operate zippers, and open snacks with them on. The first pair lasted more than 200 rides. I used the current pair rowing a raft for 3 weeks on the Colorado River. They held up to the abuse of loading and unloading boats as well as rowing everyday and now they're back to mt bike duty.
