I had two pair. They did a terrible job keeping dirt out, not sealed very well. Never again.

Only that when you evaluate durability feedback, it would be helpful to know how large the riders are relative to you -- unless you already know most people on the forum.

I'd guess any set would hold up differently under a 120 pound female or very light climber on smooth roads versus a 180-pound guy riding rough roads.
