rapha pro team mitts - i'm tempted but concerned about durability
i have a 30% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket and i'm tempted to pick up the rapha pro team mitts. I like Giro Zero Road gloves but they start looking tired pretty quickly and they're good for about a season. I'm happy to pay extra for rapha if it lasts.
anyone have experience with the rapha pro team mitts? have you gotten more than a season out of them?
thanks!

If you like the Giro Zero, look at the Giro LX. Amazing quality and the look is classy as F**k
Rapha is fantastically over-hyped and over-prized...

I haven't tried the Rapha's, but we stock Giro at our shop and I recently bought the LX gloves in tan. Super nice, very happy with them. I had the Zero gloves beforehand and the Monaco gloves before that.
I did have to size up for the LX gloves though. I wear a Large in the Monaco/Zero but had to go an XL in the LXs.

It was sent to my email, supposedly to get me to come back although it hasn't been long since I last bought something. Sorry, it appears to be individual.
