I really haven't been all that happy with the durability of the Spenco Ironman gloves. I bought a pair of the Ironman Tour model at the end of March, and by the end of May, after only about 200 miles of use, the material was tearing on the palm side by the fingers. I called Spenco, and they did replace them. But in the meantime, I bought a pair of the Pro model at the beginning of June, and I noticed a few weeks ago, after about 1,000 miles, that they're tearing in the middle on the palm side, and the material over the gel is falling apart. Maybe 1,000 miles is a lot for a pair of gloves, but I had an older pair of Spencos that lasted for more than two years. And these newer Spencos are too expensive to last for such a short period of time.

I just got a pair of Specialized Body Geometry gel gloves, but they're too new for me to form an opinion on them.
