Anyone find anything good from hardware stores that work just as good or better and are lesser price? thanks

It's perplexing to me why you can't just select something that's readily available and tailored for your application

Wipe snots, grip when hands are sweaty or wet. Padding for comfort too

I would never, EVER wave back at a bike rider that was wearing hardware store gloves. But I have droped hamers at various hardware stores...

I seek out those tan lines

It’s a variation of Rule #7 of the Velominati,
Tanlines should be cultivated and kept razor sharp.
I was once asked if I am a golfer from that pattern, but I think golfers only wear a glove on one hand.
