So...gloves or no gloves??

[nz paul]

I wear the showa's when its not wet,for climbing and ground work,never use to but once i found them i would never go back,helps a lot with grip keeps a lot of little cuts and grazes away etc..each to their own,I love them but useless in the wet!

When its gets below -10 they defiantly help as well.

surely gloves help with grip and in the long term help with elbows etc??, also help with vibration slighty

I wear gloves personally but they have got caught in the prussic a little bit but not often. i prefer them as they keep my hands cleaner and as some one mentioned all the little cuts and grazes that come with the work

I wear them in the winter mainly my hands get too hot with them on in the summer

I've been going through loads of different gloves but these are the dogs to climb with

 

Towa Activegrip Advance gloves | F R Jones and Son

 

Especially for gripping the rope when using the hitch climber setup

 

As demonstrated here 8-)

Don't wear gloves when climbing...wear them when Grounding....

No gloves for climbing , do use them for firewood though .

I climb in gloves, but it has to be so cold that I'm freezing my chest nutts off.

The towa gloves are awesome. The only gloves I've found give you a good feel for the task you are doing. I used to have splits, cuts and cracks galore in my hands but they stay clean and free from most wear and tear web wearing gloves.

Saves washing that horrible black sap stain off after conny bashing too which is a bonus!!
