I restitched them and I think they'll be fine.
I had worn mine all last summer. Rain, sun...etc. with no problem at all. Their good to go again this year (after it warms up some of course).

Your experience is what I hear most of the time about them. Hence my surprise when they fell apart on me.

I just added my fourth pair of gloves: winter big gauntlets (expensive and worth it). But, the pair that I wear the most is a simple pair of fingerless, mesh, weight lifting gloves. They are inexpensive and have great palm padding.

My fingerless gloves are actually meant for weight lifting too, brand name is Harbinger. Got them at Sports Authority for about $15. Had them 3 years now. Sill in good shape. Like BWLucky said, the palm padding is great.

I know this place that will give you a free Village People CD to go alone with those finger less gloves. Do want it?
