When I was shopping for gloves, I read on road bike review or MTBR or something about PI being known for not wearing well- coming unstitched or something, but that was a couple years ago, and the new ones are supposedly improved. Mine, the Gel Vent Pros, aren't that same type, anyway. But I was a little leery of buying PI gloves because of the multiple reviews I read like that. Anyway, I've had these gloves since March and they have hundreds of miles on them and have been washed after practically every ride, and are holding up great.
