I picked up a pair of Giro Strade Dure Supergel gloves about 3 weeks ago, and so far, they are absolutely fantastic. I was previously using the Ironman Rip-It padded gloves. They were quite good for a number of months, but the gel pads began to break down, and once the large pad below the thumb flattened out, they became just plain uncomfortable. Far too soon to say on the Giros, but they were definitely better right out of the package than the Rip-Its.

I don't have the strongest core in the world, so once a little fatigue starts to set in I find myself supporting more weight on my hands than I probably should be-- and the Giros have improved the late-miles comfort dramatically. With the longevity still unknown, they're comfortable enough that I would recommend them-- if I manage to get 4+ months (~3,000 miles) out of this set, these will be my next pair, and the pair after that.
