My GP Plus gloves broke a seam near the end of the middle finger within a few weeks of me buying them... it's not that bad so I never did anything about it and they've otherwise held up great.

WHAT THE FUCK....

I just went to ride today and pulled out my full size A* MX-Plus boots since its colder. And the seam on the zipper on the right boot is busted half way up the zipper. Bad luck. I may move away from A* for awhile...

I just finished my 3rd season with my octanes and they're still in great shape. I have a pair of gp plus gloves too but haven't worn them enough to judge.

You haven't worn them enough.

I've worn through a set of GP Plus' and busted seams in the fingers in two sets of GP Pros.

Of course, my cheapie A*s mesh gloves have lasted forever.

Same, my A* street gloves last forever. But I can go through 2 sets of GP Pro's in a track season fairly easily.

And as both of you mentioned, the seams on the fingers are always the Achilles' heel.
