I'm sick of wearing out my gloves. I need a recommendation for some bomber gloves that will last. I usually wear out the finger grip area.

I've been using my PMI gloves for 7 years and it's still good.
Search for rappel or belay gloves

I use Dakine MTB gloves. Functional and trendy too!!

I lost my Dakine glove before I was near wearing the set out. I'll be picking up a new set this Sunday.

I have a pair of PMI rappelling gloves with cutoff fingers that I love. I just had to make a slit in the leather between the pointer and middle
finger for the top line on handles to fit between. They have a leather piece in the palm for rope handling.

I use weight lifting or mountain biking gloves, with no fingers in them. They hold up fine. Besides, with flexi handles, you only need gloves if your
boarding.... static flying the handles are so well padded that you dont need gloves.
I just upgraded all my kites to flexi handles except one, and i flew it the other day, what a difference.

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting the PMI fingerless:

They are very comfortable and look bomber so hopefully they'll last a while.

I use EMS snowboarding pipe gloves..not strong, but they were cheap...about to break through them.
