New Gloves?

[GuitarX]

So instead of 1 set of 250 dollar gloves, I should get 5 sets of 50 dollar gloves??

Sure. If your hands are only worth $50 to you. My hands are important to me so I buy nice gloves.

By the way, I had a pair of Held Kryptons (discontinued now) and the index finger blew out (didn't even crash - just from less than one season's worth of use). I'm not so sure about Held's current quality control so I won't go back to them. The Handroids are my favorites of all the race gloves I've ever had. The top-line Alpinestars are nice too though. Either way you can't go wrong.
