Well I've had these for 4 months now, and my initial observations about these gloves were premature.
I posted this on airsoftplayers.com -

Each one has several holes on the back of the hand area, [...] , mine are pilling badly too. The pre sewn finger cut points and the additional elastic gathering on the back are nice "extras," but when the rest of the glove sucks, its not a plus. I've had mine for probably 4 months, and now I wish I hadn't bought them.
These seemed really nice when I first got them, but now they're sub par. I've got a pair of USGI ones that are damn near bulletproof. The leather on them is a bit stiff now, but thats not bad for 2+ years of use.
To add insult to injury, those damn "Made in China" tags itch like hell. I cut them out and the stitching around them started to come apart.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Final verdict, stay away from these BHI Hellstorm Aviators unless you want to replace them often. The retail price on these is usually the same or more than that of most of the USGI nomex flight gloves, so just stick with those. I got mine on sale, which is probably why I bought them in the first place.
Next I'm going to get myself a pair of Hatch Operator gloves. A bit pricy, but I've read nothing bad about them.
