Climbing gloves

[planetrobbo]

I have yet to find a fully satisfactory make/brand of gloves for climbing in. they are either over priced or do not last long. Does anyone have their suggestions/recommendations? Which do you use, how much and how long do they last?

Buckler gloves are cool, long lasting and grippy - about 15 quid a pair - get mine from local agricultural dealer.

 

But - to be honest I really like Showa thermal gloves (the grey builders ones) extremely grippy on rope and I find them really comfortable and good with vibration... and at like £1.50 a pair you cant go too far wrong. Immensely warm in winter and last for quite a while

 

I say this after spending 30 something quid on all singing all dancing ones that were cold and fell apart.

i never used to like wearing gloves while climbing and when i did they wouldnt last more than 3 or 4 trees but these towa ones have been the best so far and last much longer than any of the others i have tried:thumbup1:

I agree with Davis, Towa or Showa, tried quite a few of their gloves - some have Kevlar etc, all pretty good.

I can vouch for Showa, very hard wearing! Usually get 3-4 days climbing, instead of 1 day like the cheap crap.

Showa 310's are alright.

the ox-on tree climber ones that honey bros sell are pretty good, £8ish and my last pair have lasted a couple of months. I only wear them for climbing though and to be fair not every time i climb, I wear cheeper ones for everything else. these are nice and grippy and have faired much better than most other ones that i've tried. and i have tried alot!

Tornado contour Avengers or Tegera? I don't climb so wouldn't know how well they last tho.

Tried allsorts only ones I've found that last are from Aldi store the only trouble is not all ways got then in stock 2 pairs are £2.99 last time they had them bought 24 pairs orange or bright green.
