I forgot to mention that one problem if you decide to go with the Specialized is that they may be hard to find. I finally had to order one directly from their website, which meant I had to pay for shipping--not a big problem, but a little irritating. They do run special sales from time to time, so you may want to watch for one of those.

A salesman told me last year that Specialized requires merchants to carry a certain percentage of their whole line, so that may be why it's hard to find their stuff at bike shops. Anyway, check out their website--I like their Body Geometry gloves also--lots of padding right where you need it and none where you don't need it. And they stand up well to frequent washing also.
