I had Pearl Izumi and Specialized and Cannondale gloves (just to name a few I could remember the names to) but for some reason they only last about 6 months. Then I tried a pair of Trico Sports Handshock gloves with gel padding because they were on sale for $8, but those darn things lasted 4 years and were very comfortable; I just threw them away last month. http://www.tricosports.com/
