Anybody with a few cases of those Gant Racers could set their own price. I find a thin glove like the Racer avoids bunching, spreads the load, and is ultimately more comfortable than more padded gloves. They are a poor substitute but Tufo gloves, although Lycra backed, have the right idea (to my taste) about padding and the tailoring around the thumb. Nothing like the Racer gloves though.
