My first pair of Gore Gloves are at least 7 years old and I think I paid $30 for them so about $4.28 per year at this point but again they are still going just fine (though I guess the reflective gore logo has gone away in spots). I rarely care for just looking at initial cost of things I look at the long term unless it is a disposable item. If I get a good comfortable pair of gloves and take care of them the total cost won't be that exceptionally much and they will much better serve my needs. They are designed for the purpose of cycling which is what I will use them for. For some of my winter gloves that are more cycling specific I have used them for other purposes as well so double duty but excellent on the bike.
