i have a set of armadillo and a set of gatorskins, they're remarkable, both are fairly indestructable, i would say i feel like the gatorskins do drag slightly but they are great in the rain, i haven't ridden the armadillos in the rain so i cant comment on that but both are fairly indestructable, i only got the armadillos a month ago but over the summer i put almost 2000 miles on the gatorskins and they're pretty great
