tough gloves
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 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.
WHAT I FLY:
Flysurfer Soul v2 12m, Soul 15m, Soul v2 21m
Flexi Rage 1.8m, Jojo RM 3m, Flexi Blurr 3.5, Flexi Blade 4.0m, Flexi Blade 4.9m, Flexi Blurr 5, Jojo RM 6m
WHAT I RIDE:
Kite Skates, Libre Full Race, GI Conflict 106, OR Mako 140, Spleene Door 159
What I Am In The Market For: Peter Lynn Vapors, Weatherproof Kite Buggy Bag for Libre, PL or Flexi Small Buggy to Tow With, Flexi Pro Link Handles,
Flexi Lines, Flexi Kite Killers
