What Gloves Hold-up the Best?

<< < (2/2)

 Thanx, "Ya get what you pay for" could be part of my problem. Like you said entry level stuff is probably not going to be the best. I am intersted in the materials and care of the gloves. I know Troy Lee has a good look, but I really only want to pay extra for reliable and not the name or brand. Is Answer Ion gloves entry level? For instance, they had a leather palm, but quickly deteriorated. Mechanix gloves, I think have a reinforced material like spandex. I'm guessing the spandex type hold up better in the washer, and the leather type hold up as long as you don't wash them(Platypus), but I am not sure whether this is a common denominator or if I got cheap leather or cheap stitching. Seems to be a little more to this than I originally thought. :-D   Thanks!!!

Platypus:
I have been looking at these Alpinestars street bike gloves that look tough and have very good knuckle protection.  http://www.alpinestars.com/SMX6_Gloves/pd/np/142/p/356764.html they are the SMX 6 gloves.  Once I buy a pair and try them out I will post again on their quality and what not.  I agree with Cam on the current offering of dirt bike gloves, it is really slim pickins and that is why I want to try out these steet bike gloves.
