Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I have the GT gloves and yes they're great. After about 30,000km they stink even after washing. I've had them repaired locally twice. They're the best by far, but the new price is out there.

The pro team gloves seem rubbish in my opinion. Not putting leather between thumb and forefinger is a major design flaw. That section is one of the most heavily rubbed parts. The GT gloves have extra padding there.

I guess being the pro team ones they assume you'll just wear them for one race then chuck em away :)
