Okay when new, but they don't last

I bought these quite some years ago by now. Since I expected burton quality, and I wanted some nice gloves to replace my fairly cheap Wedze gloves. They looked nice, felt nice and warm, came with separate liners which are nice. (I still use the separate liners a lot)
The first thing that was a bit disapointing is that the fixed lining in the glove comes out when you pull your hand out, and you never get it back in the way it was. they should have fixed it at the tip of the fingers or something, I don't know how other gloves/brands do this. But its very annoying and impracticle.
Apart from that the gloves were fine for probably the first 2 weeks of wintersports (I used them for snowboarding). After that they already started to show some pretty bad wear and tear on the inner of the palms. I know snowboards and ski's can be sharp, and as a boarder you are constantly with your gloves on the ground, but they are sold as "snowboarding gloves" so I expect they can take that!
I know at this price you are just below the ones that have real leather palms, but the material Burton used on these, is rubbish! after about 4 weeks of wintersports it started to peel off, crack and by the time I write this review, its almost completely gone. The fake suede that you can use to wipe your goggles is also crumbling off.
In comparison, the Wedze gloves I used for 8 years, then the lining got a bit thin, but the outside is still in tact, it doesn't use real or fake leather, but a different material that is clearly up for the task! and they cost 9 euro's.
No more Burton gloves for me!
