That all the MTB gloves these days are cheaply made and have zero padding? Even my Fox Sidewinder gloves that I have used for years aren't what they used to be

It's what is fashionable right now.
Padding in gloves is out.
If the shorts get any longer I'm going to call them capris.
Bars are getting wider (I'm for that) with low or no rise.
Visers on helmets are no longer cool.
All the white components.
Socks are getting taller.
Anodized colors are comming back in.
I couldn't agree more though, I loved the old ( AXO?) Padlocker gloves. Can't get the good ones for a long time now.
Cheers!

I don't think you would have that wear if it wasn't for the oil migration issue. Fox screwed up and many are likely paying the price. I'm glad I noticed it early. There's a long thread on MTBR about it. The only one that is longer is the Fox creaking crown thread.

Yah, if it is a talas there is only 15ml of lube down in the leg....it can dry up quickly just from normal wicking even with good seals.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is, otherwise let me see it for a minute.
