I'll keep you guys posted.
I ordered them in late Feb - they were offering free shipping plus 20% off if you signed someone up for their mail list.
I ordered those criterium gloves plus an epic hat (I go through hats even more often than gloves) for $77 USD.
I'll post a review a couple of weeks after I use/abuse them.

I ended up going with a $20 pair of pearl-izumis. Seem like they're padded in the right place and breath pretty well. I just don't ride enough for the $60 gloves. The wrist support gloves might have been a good idea. I rode more this weekend than I have in years and my wrists hurt like hell.

Rapha's epic cap is awesome. I got the black one with the white stripe, and I love it. They don't mention it on their site, but the white stripe is reflective (not just because it's white). I bet those gloves will last.

I like my Specialized Body Geometry gloves. They have a lot of padding at the base, where the nerves are. Padding is minimal elsewhere for a good grip and road feel.

I'm on my second pair, it's a great glove. But I am really looking for a glove that has armor for going through auto glass, and it should grip necks well too.

It looked like it was made of cotton balls. I seen people recommend Cutters football gloves, especially the linebacker/runningback gloves.
