Gloves - Should I get a spare pair of something cheap?

Hey guys, so this isn't another thread asking about a good glove to get. I've already got Hestra Seth Morrison's, love em. However, this year I'm gonna actually be picking up park a bit more, and I don't really wanna wear the shit out of my good gloves too quick. I know Hestra's are durable, but do any of you guys wear them when going through the park? And I'm not talking the occasional jot through the park as you're skiing down the mountain, talking like dedicated park days. I'm thinking of picking up a spare pair of colder weather gloves that aren't as expensive so I can save mine some needless wear and tear. I already have a park glove that I use in warmer conditions, so this is mainly for colder times.

I almost picked up a pair of Dakine Cobra's for 15 bucks on eBay last night which would have solved this, buuut somebody bought em before me. So yeah, should I keep watching for some good deals on a spare glove, or should would my Hestra's hold up fine?

Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.
 
I don't wear my Seths unless I'm about to start skiing for reals. Different gloves for wimpy days or mellow days, different gloves for the up while touring. Of course, the best policy is just to have 2 pairs of Seths.
 
What kind of warmth are you looking for? I would recommend any of the flylow gloves, but for park if you are doing a lot of handplants, handrags, etc, you might want to put a bit of extra sno-seal on the palms and fingers. Great gloves overall and they are cheap
 
Haha I'd love to get 2 pairs of seths, but seeing as I'm a college kid having one pair already is splendid. Awesome, thanks for that opinion! I was wanting to do it, but didn't know if I was being ridiculous in not wanting to use them. I'll check flylow, and I know a lot of people go with Kinco Gloves + SnoSeal. I see some older Pow Royal gloves on Altrec for 17 bucks right now, Non-Goretex but eh, snoseal em and they'd be good I think. Can't find much a whole lot cheaper right now.
