I trashed a similar pair of gloves up near Broome on my last big trip. For one reason or another, one of them finished up on the highway, and I watched as they were run over by a road train and finished up 100 meters down the road. I walked back to retrieve them and just as I got near, another road train going in the other direction got them as well, so I had to walk back again. The glove "sort of" survived, with one small hole in the palm, but the knuckle protector has multiple fractures.
I think I'll order a new pair from Zen, as they look like a good pair of summer gloves.
