$200 :o :o :o
200 dollar gloves use to seem crazy to me as well. Now im on my third pair of 70 dollar gloves over the past 1.5 years. Seems i wear through them pretty fast, and im starting to feel a lot of gear is made for weekend warriors, not every day use.
I still have the Racer High End gloves I bought over three years ago, and although they're faded from the sun and the rain and the other abuse they've seen, they're still perfectly intact. They are very comfy and very protective.
I recently got a pair of Alpinestars Stella GP Plus - they were an accidental order at a local shop, and so they sold them for quite cheap. They retail for $160, and feature-wise, they're a clone of the Racer High-End gloves. However, in execution (fit, finish, durability, comfort), the Racers win; I don't feel cheated for the $200 I spent on the Racers, and I'd feel cheated if I had spent full retail on the Alpinestars.

Yes, I'm with you there. My pair of warm weather gloves is only about a year old and they're looking pretty beat up. The leather in the palms is all crusty and weird. I think I'm going to have to go hunting for new ones soon. Now to find a motorcycle shop in town that actually has a decent selection to try on....
