Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

there is a big difference between the criterium gloves and the grand tour, the leather is significantly better on the tour gloves.

water resistant whilst full of holes still makes me laugh.

I wonder if it the same leather as the one that Tour De Ville sell? althought I must admitted the glove I got from TdV (£15) isn't particuarlly strong after 4 months heavy riding (the Tour De Ville leather glove that look identical to the Criterium gloves, only white).
