Glove sizing/ Lifetime
What kind of lifetime are you you guys getting for your gloves? I've had a pair of A* shorties, MXs I think, and a pair of Tour Master Accelerators (shorties also) that I wore through the fingertips pretty quickly in my opinion. I think the A* lasted about a year before getting a hole on the middle finger and the Tour master's went 2 years and then got a hole on the index.
When I buy my gloves I like my fingers to touch the tip of the glove but not with a lot of pressure. I assume that they'll stretch a little since when I grip the bars I feel some pressure on my finger tips. I'm thinking this is the problem and I'm buying a size too small. I also scratch at things with the gloves sometimes so this doesn't help with the longevity of the fingertips either.
So how tight are your gloves when you buy them? How long do they last?
