"Fit very well!"
"nice tee´s"
"Gants agréables et confortables, faciles à mettre. Enfin un gants avec une protection sur le pouce. Mais c'est aussi un gants très fin, et selon le type de rocher, il est bon de remettre du strap dessus pour ne pas s'abimer le dos de la main."
"Soft and comfortable you won’t wanna take them off after climbing. Good protection for the thumb when ring locking. Thin so you can het your hands in thin hand cracks easily."
"Good design and robust. Great coverage of the areas that need it and the leather inner give good grip to the hand for minimal slippage."
"Better than other gloves, more handy than tapegloves."
"high quality products and materials!"
"Les gants sont vraiment bien, mais dès le début, on voit que l'attache avec le velcro est très fragile. Après 7 jours d'utilisations, un des trous par où passe le velcro s'est déchiré complètement. . . Obligation de mettre du tape autour du poignet. . ."
"I am writing this in hopes that BD will take it into consideration on the next iteration. The gloves truly feel great and are a super convenient simulation of traditional tape gloves. However, upon strapping them for the very first time, the slot for the wrist strap broke completely upon tightening. BD themselves told me the strap slot isnt made as durable as the rest of the gloves. Be very careful when tightening and dont pull much at all. I though I only tugged ever so slightly and yet it broke nonetheless. Annoying, but not a huge deal. Just been taping the wrist strap."
"I've scoffed at crack gloves for years. These changes my perspective. Reluctantly purchased them to protect a cut on the back of my hand Climbing kept reopening, but loved the feel, and will keep using them. They protect all the right areas, and add significant comfort in sharp/crystalline cracks. Feel more secure than tape"
