Beginner question: How do you know if your gloves (16oz Revgear) are wearing out/have worn out? After 6 months of 3+ days a week training, I'm noticing less effective padding on the punches. Better gloves last longer (right?) or is it a more or less standard age rate (replace how often)? Thanks.

all gloves wear out after time. if you're using your gloves as often as you claim, thats not too bad a time for them to last.
A good pair of gloves, with proper care, will last about a year or two of heavy use before needing to be replaced. The RevGear gloves are decent quality and you should expect to get about a years heavy use before you'd want to consider replacing them.
You need to make sure you are keeping them clean and storing them in a ventilated area. If you keep them in your gym bag, in your car, etc, they are going to get funky, nasty, etc and wear out faster.
