But you have to admit Neil, it is less expensive! Those Yamaha patches
cost $3.50 for three, and you have to buy them regularly after biting
through them. The gloves were only $5 for two that lasted me over two or
three years!

Regardless....you're right....I still buy the patches now.....less
hassle...better material. But clear??? Yowza.
