They sound ideal for Joe when he's taking things really seriously.

 

I'm going to have to try some of these other gloves so I can compare, I get a lot more than 5 days climbing out of a pair of Showas but would be good to know if there's something better.

 

Maybe I'm very sensitive and gentle on the gloves?

Old topic but thought I’d just chirp in. 
I swear by the red ‘Site’ gloves in screwfix. They’re comfortable, a good fit (actually modelled around human hands unlike a lot of them) and last many days of climbing and general work with good grip.

They’re not bad Alex, but Ace grip lites have better grip and are half the price.

I tried those Site and have to say found they fell apart really quickly so haven't gone back.

 

Green showa at Mstore 50p less than black for some reason.

Agree with the coment ref the poor quality of the Site gloves - I do well to get a full day out of them before the backs start fallig to bits

Tornado contour avengers. Around £2 a pair and grippy as you like.

 

I buy packs of ten as you can burn them out in a week or so

Another vote for the Tornados...used them for 5 years plus now(not same pair mind)🤣

That would be exceptional value for money. 

 

Before these I'd always used the pfanner gloves, which were perhaps a bit thicker.

 

I much prefer these. Very comfy and cheap enough to throw away after one climb if needed

Yup I've tried a few similar ones Joe but for grip in wet or dry conditions and price/robustness i think hard to beat👍

Ok I’ve ordered some from Amazon. £11.50 ish for 10 pairs. Thanks for the heads up. Pretty much the same price as 3 site pairs.
