Like the title says, I'm shopping for gloves. I've been happy with my MotoGP gloves, but they are in less-than-ideal shape after lowsiding twice at the July TTD events. I am far less happy with my Teknic gloves, both pairs of which have failing seams and which have not been crashed in. At this point, I'm strictly a street/trackday rider (barring unforseen budget changes, I don't expect to be able to afford racing this year or next).
So, the question: do I need to spend $100 or $150 (or more) to get decent gloves? Airflow and durability are important, and protection in a crash is obviously the most critical goal. Motorcycle-closeouts has an AXO race glove for about $80 shipped, which is the cheapest I've seen for anything that looks like a quality, full-gauntlet glove; however, they also have a lousy return policy (10% restocking fee w/$10 minimum if you want a refund) and don't take Amex. Other suggestions or pointers appreciated.
