My first problem is I have large hands and most stores don't carry XL it seems. Then, I seem to wear them out quite quickly. Deer skin: forget it; they are soft for sure but they don't last a month before I put a hole in them. Cowhide, pigskin, and goat are all better but it seems like I'll find a good one that will last a while and when I try to buy the same brand I either can't find it or if I do the next pair doesn't seem to last. So what do you think? Anyone else have this problem too?
