Chiba Gloves. My LBS just started stocking these and they seem pretty awesome. Anyone own a pair and have opinions? I'm more looking for input on durability as the last pair of gloves I bought (Fox) started falling apart within weeks of purchase. They feel excellent.

Best pair of gloves I ever bought. I bought them four years ago and still wear them several times a week. Wash them after every ride and use the "other" pair for the next ride.
We sell the entire range of them at the LBS I work at. We brought them in at the request of a good customer. I own one pair, a two year old set of winter gloves. Mine have been good, and I don't see them coming back. Some customers have made repeat purchases of them. I would buy more of them for personal use.
We also sell Fox, Pearl Izumi, and some oddballs. I'm not crazy about Fox quality, it seems to vary at times.

I've had a pair of their waterproof gloves for over a year now, seem pretty good although they're double lined so have a tendancy to slip about a bit when riding. Keep your hands amazingly warm and dry though.

Don't know about the gloves, but the title of this post keeps making me sing that old Ton Loc song Cheeba Cheeba to myself.
Thanks for the input folks. Looks like they are as good as they look. I'll be picking up a pair for this weekend's riding.

Best gloves I've owned EVER were Specialized Body Geometry And I've destroyed MANY gloves in the quest for the perfect glove

Late to the table with this, but WTF - I like the fit and feel of the three pairs I've owned very much. However, they all very quickly fell apart at the stitching and needed repair. I gave up on them in the end. HTH.
