That was my experience. It sucks because they were great gloves other than the fact that their key feature (the palm padding) fails after a single ride.
I’m noticing a trend with cycling cloves. They all seem to be cheap **** that costs an arm and a leg. I was looking for winter gloves. Wanted no padding (of course) and etip I finally found a pair I liked from Bontrager. Bought from the LBS. Their website and the packaging said etip. Except there was no etip. Confirmed with Bontrager that the packing was wrong. 🙄
