If they actually do the job, $35/pr is pretty reasonable, compared to the price of trying all manner
of other gloves to see if something else might work. The problem is that people are different, and
some will benefit from one glove, while others might find the same glove terrible. You've already
found one that works; quite possibly, you're least-expensive route is to stick with them. Many would
envy the fact that you've cured your problem for just $35 while they keep trying to find gloves and
hand positions that will allow them to ride comfortably.
For what it's worth, I get pretty nasty nerve issues with my hands if I use *any* of the gloves that
are supposed to alleviate carpal tunnel issues. The only gloves that work are those with very thin
padding. Anything else tends to push material up into areas of my hand that give me a lot of grief.
The point here is simply to re-emphasize what I said about how one person's solution might not work
for someone else.
