Calm down lads my Puma Iridium trainers that are two years old now split along the seam whee the sole is joined together went when only 6 months old they still work and i kept them even though Puma offered to replaced them, when you consider GM probably have 20,000 + pairs of gloves made and sold every year and maybe one out of every 1000 gloves developes a small fault its not too bad. Try getting an Asian Brand to replace a pair of gloves if you e mail or contact them you can wait month for a reply and even longer for replacement gloves if you get any at all as is the experience we have had lately after a lad bought a pair from a retailer that closed down so he had no choice but to go back to the manufacturer!! And the official reply was their guarantee/warranty that they issue only covers there country and they do not cover world wide exports.
