OK, now I know I've got to try something different because I thought mine were pretty good the one time I got caught gloveless in the rain!
There is definitely a reduced tactile feel but to me it has been worth it to come home from each ride without wrist pain. If I can have both, and for less money, I'm going to be all over that.
I've been lucky with durability. No tears on my first pair, but I did put some odi lockrings on the end to prevent most ground contact.
