"Solid and comfortable glove but sized signifigantly smaller than other brands of belay gloves I have used. Was able to hand them off to a co-worker who now swears by them."
"Good product. Quality leather, thick wear surface. Should last."
"Ive been buying these for 7+ years and keep coming back to them. I usually use fingerless gloves for work (rope access construction and guiding), a balance of protection and comfort / dexterity. Most gloves I try last me a couple weeks at most and then blow out, these I can usually get through a season (or two) in them. Best work glove Ive ever used. They are a little stiff out of the package and take some time to break in, but once they do, oh boy its like Im not wearing anything. If they feel a little tight out of the packaging, theyll loosen just enough while breaking in. High speed rapping, working with tools, steel cable, ect, they do the job and last. As a side note, using them in adverse weather, rain / wet conditions does cause them to wear out faster and get a bit hard and crusty, but thats to be expected of a leather glove. These still hold up better than any other Ive used. Typically I have a beater (or just older) pair for wet days and a newer one for dry). I still use them in winter too over a thin full finger glove (size up for this) like a nitrate dipped work glove. If your buying fingerless gloves that your going to live in, these are the best out there. If you just use them for belay / rapping, buy em and youll loose them before they wear out."
"I never wear gloves to belay but I bought these to climb in Zion and for those long rappels in Moab and in the summer in general, when I feel I start burning my hands and need to slow down the descend. I was concerned about durability but they proved to be incredibly resilient. They also fit really wellIt would be nice if they had a good system to hang them on your harness, but otherwise the design is excellent."
"The fingers are way to tight compared to the palm size. Good quality and poor fit."
