Dropped $80 on a fancy drawing glove and it might be a scam

I finally caved and bought one of those expensive anti-fouling gloves for my tablet screen. The palm rejection on my cheap glove was never great, so I figured $80 would fix it. After three weeks, the fabric started pilling and it actually smudges my screen worse than before. I'm going back to my old $5 cotton glove from the craft store. Has anyone else found a decent mid-range option that actually lasts?

Fancy drawing glove" is a good way to put it because mine was a total waste too. My friend bought the same $80 one and after two weeks the stitching came loose and she got ink all over her hand. She just uses a regular thin sock with a hole cut for her thumb now and says it works better than anything she paid for.

Honestly the sock hack is genius and I've been doing something similar for like 3 years now. I grabbed a pair of cheap black nylon gloves from the dollar store, cut a tiny hole for my thumb, and they work perfectly with my screen. Zero drag, no smudging, and when they get dirty I just toss them and grab another pair. I went through three different "artists gloves" before I gave up. The $30 one started pilling after a week. The $50 one was too tight and left marks on my wrist. The only downside to the sock method is if you use a really thick material it can mess with your pressure sensitivity, but a thin cheap sock or pantyhose is honestly better than anything sold specifically for drawing.
