i'm probably overstating my bad experience with giro. but for the (premium) price i expect them to last longer than they tend to. i've had shoes, jerseys, winter gloves, and shorts fall apart quite quickly, enough to make me leery of buying anything from them without a first-hand inspection. on the other hand i keep crawling back because the fit is so good: my 2nd pair of privateers just lasted a third season of everything-but-fatbiking use, and i'm on my 3rd pair of dnd gloves because black and i keep losing them before i can wear them out
