Recommend a durable gloves
 
My Lizardskins G-love half-finger gloves developed holes in the palm area within less than 3mths. It is now totally torn. Any recommendations of more durable half-finger gloves?

My Specialized Body Geometry gloves are really nice.

I've had $50+ gloves, but I always come back to the Performance Terry gloves for $11. I buy two pair at a time, and they seem to last about 2 years (1 year each) before the leather starts wearing through. All that terry is really nice with sweat and snot.

The newish leather Giro's are on my list to try

Specialized.

I have the gloves waterrockets posted and I do not like them as much as the specialized. They are very thick all around and don't breathe well.

I really like my specialized sports, they are 25 bucks and have padding in the exact place that my hands needed.

Durability (as well as comfort) of bicycle gloves depends a lot on how you hold the handlebar. Different gloves are reinforced in different areas, so look for gloves that are thicker in the areas where your old gloves wore out.

Good point, johnny99.

But are there certain material that should last longer, like mesh vs leather? Or padded vs non-padded?

I had a set of Serfas gel gloves that lasted me for 3 years.

I'd go with Specialized now though, they seem incredibly well made.

I like these a lot and have held up just fine. They only have them in XL and XXL presently, though.

These are a horrible disaster and wore through in several spots (both gloves) within 200 miles....no kidding.

I guess sometimes you get what you pay for.

I stocked up on those descente gloves. $6.53 a pair, and my favorite of the many gloves I compulsively buy.

I just got a pair of those in last week. They appear to be well constructed, but I won't be outside most likely for at least another month. I'll have to wait and see.
