Climbing gloves

[Dave Alviti]

Couldn't say to be honest, don't climb in them often enough to have worn a set out yet, and I don't climb day in day out anyway. I would imagine they'll last as long as anything else, perhaps a shade longer.... Certainly better than my grippy palmed work gloves....

I do not wear gloves but if I did it would be traffi-gloves x-grip.

 

Seal skins are poor climbing gloves.

I know the feeling but now i think i have found the answer! try these....

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:

 

A week of use in those and they leave my hands stinking to high heaven. Can't even scrub the smell out. I used to love them but the smell put me off. Plus they were £4/pair near me. I went on eBay and got a pack of 12 nitrile coated ones with very thin fabric at the back for less than a tenner. Lasting me ages, had about 6 months so far and still not finished the pack! Good enough value for me!

Buckles all the way for me.

Depends which ones, there are a few different sorts, the pimple palm ones are OK, not as grippy as the grippy palm things, but on cold wet days at least they're warm & dry!

Unless its prickly I find gloves just a total nuisance in the tree, yet to find a pair which is worth the bother.
