My first pair of GORE gloves are 7-8 years old at this point and still going pretty strong (minus some logo wear). Honestly I am quite happy with them, they are super comfortable and quite durable and were $35 or so if memory serves me. Granted I did leave them in a jacket I hadn't worn in a while so I did loose a year on them but found them and all good. I have some Giro Jag gloves that are also quite nice but a couple years newer but still kicking. I have had a lot of gloves go bad but my GORE stuff generally has held up well. I still have some GORE shorts that are still wearable (though I switched to bibs a while back and don't really wear the shorts except on really casual rides when I just don't want bibs.
