mostly crashes that kill them / I tend to buy closeout $150-$200 gloves for like $65-75 when they hit the bargain bin section. Sometimes they are probably repairable and I just don't bother and get another pair from the bin lol.

the other thing that kills mine are the palms in the "non-impact" area of the hand. if its not a crash that kills them I normally wear/tear through that section but I know one of my bad habits is being too heavy on the bars when its not needed. maybe that is the killer
