UMMM. Excuse me but I ride a Honda CR500af. There is no glove that will last the clinching grip strength that you need. When you are on a 500cc two stroke. They all rip and tear at the seems. I will be reading this thread closely. So maybe some one will help us find a glove that will out last others. This is a good thread conversation. 
I am having the same issues with the FOX Dirtpaws. Mostly they stretch out too quickly.
I think I may be between sizes. The XL give me hand cramps, then I rip out the seams. And the XXL gets loose on my hands within a ride or 3 making them very dangerous for riding.
-BIG DAN
perhaps the best mx glove isn't mx affiliated. I have brazed with gloves at work. The company is IRONCLAD. I thought they would make good riding gloves. But, never tried them. There is another company I have tried at work. I believe it was named WESTEN. I will look tomorrow at work and post what they are.
ya the fox dirtpaws dont last ,the loop strap quits sticking like it should for me.
I liked the fit of klims but they wore out quickly.the material is too thin. I dont mind paying extra for something thats quality and fits good

Well you should wear a glove out in 30 days. The amount of seat time and miles you ride compared to your average cr500af rider is not comparable.
I use snap on gloves, I'm sure someone else makes them, but who ever it is they last an entire season and then go in the spare pile.
I have had good luck with most of my gloves in the $30.00 range. I don't like the way dirt paws fell apart at the wrist strap. I have a pair of cheaper oneil gloves that are pretty good so far. I have been meaning to try out them mechanix ones. And even if I had a two stroke 500cc motorcycle my gloves would wear the same.
I've been using Noviks for 2 seasons now, haven't actually worn a pair out, I like the TEC anything else I wear seems to pinch too much

Was going to suggest these as well. Here's another option.

I personally always wore mechanic gloves that I picked up at the local auto parts store.
