Update:
Cycle gear gets an A++ in my book.
I emailed them asking for the contact information with the brand (Bilt) so I could email the brand about the warranty on their product.
I get an email back saying there is no need and they will take care of it. Next thing I know I have a replacement pair of gloves show up at my door this morning because of the defective pair pictured above. No hassle, quick communication and definite satisfaction from the vendor. I’m in awe. :wow
It’s not the first time I’ve bought stuff from them but after this, I’m quite reinforced to check them as my first place for parts and deals.
