My very first pair wasn't even real bike gloves. It was a pair of gym gloves, cheap ones. Looked similar enough. Didn't last long.
Next was a pair of Pearl Izumi, bought on sale.
Eventually, very eventually, I wore through the leather in the palm.
Next came an inexpensive department store pair. Lasted longer than the gym gloves, but started splitting at the seams fairly soon. Repairable though.
Biggest disappointment were a pair of Gore gloves. If they got wet they dried up stiff as pig's ears dog treat. And when wet the skin became soft and tore at minimum provocation.
