Specialized Body Geometry Gel Gloves - Fail

I purchased a pair of the gloves in the middle of the summer last year. On long rides my hands were going numb. So I looked at the Specialized to help fix my issue. They lasted less than a year and I am disappointed in them. The spandex on the fingers fell apart. The rest of the glove is holding up, but they are unusable. Argh... I compare them to Trek gloves and Pearl Izumi gloves that I used in the past and have lasted at least two seasons and multiple washings. Any suggestions?
