Gloves

[Lee Winger]

What you using , how much are they, and where do you get them from...oh and are they any good?

 

I reckon around 1.50 a pair for builders [not gripper they're cr@p] sounds about right for bulk purchases

[madclimber]

I wear Kong climbing gloves, godd protection and grip when climbing, also has thumb and for finger open so you can easily do knots etc, i think mine were about £20.00

[jpbeaver]

i get grippy gloves at about 50p a pair 100 pairs at a time. the only other gloves i buy are welding gloves for thorns.

have been using the dark gloves from treeworker and the summer rigging gloves both really good some lads prefered dark some rigging gloves i use whatever whenever and however

[treediver]

i use showa 310 there about 1.70 a pair but dont fall to bits after 1 days use. Alot of the cheaper generic builder type gloves wear down to the fabric and the coatin peels off..good if you like a fresh pair of gloves a day i suppose.

pvc coated cotton jobbies at about 50p a pair when bought in bulk. Proper triple layer heavy duty leather rope handling gloves for rigging lines, and gauntlets for thorns.

Elbow length black lace for evening wear.

[John Shutler]

sticky gloves 50p a pair, if i get through a pair a day im not really that botherd

[vduben]
