Would you recommend the Petzl Cordex Belay Gloves for general climbing??? Just thought I'd ask for your advice before I buy.

 

Not really, I tried. I have a pair of the black ones and they're very nice gloves, I wear them for throwlining so I don't burn my fingers, and running the rigging.

Dipped rubber palmed work gloves are better for climbing, grip the rope better..... and infinitely cheaper... :001_smile:

Yeah I use the rubber palmed ones t the minute and there are alright but for long climbing periods they do wear down a bit. Thank you for you opinion though. :thumbup:

I have a pair of the Cordex plus gloves and they're lovely. I found them great to climb in, and (i imagine) they made handling a saw one handed much easier. Sadly, they cost over 30 quid and lasted only about a month of pretty regular use (climbing and rigging) before the fingertips started to come away at the seams. They're now solely reserved for rigging. Shame

Try Irwin general construction, or the Extreme conditions ones (warmer). They're not bad, and cheaper than £30 too. The dipped palm gloves are a winner if you don't expect thm to last more than a few days.

Just got the new Pfanner grippy gloves from honey bros website, their about £3 a pair! And the rubber last much better than any general work gloves I've had before. And even better they are sized

The red ones? I have a pair, get a thumbs up from me too.

The grippy seems better bonded than on the usual dipped work gloves.
