So...gloves or no gloves??

[Mark Bolam]

I prefer not to, but if its cold I have to.

North Cold Grip, Showa Thermos or Tegeras from Clarks are all good.

 

Skintight John Wayne style leathers for really sappy connies as well, Dickies do some good goatskin ones.

Il say i prefer not to simply for handling carabiners and other gizmos if i ever start my climb with them il get to about a quarter of the way up and just take them off and chuck down

Gloves in the cold winter months, no gloves in summer !

I never use to wear gloves when climbing with a prussic and 13mm rope. Changed to hitch climbing and 11mm rope 4 years ago and couldn't do it without wearing gloves, so wear gloves all the time now.

If you wear a glove, it feels like it's someone else.

I never used to wear gloves but i do now as i use a thinner rope. The only gloves i get on with are the pfanner stretchfine, Very thin, grippy and dexterous . Bog standard grippy gloves from builders merchants etc are too thick imo.

Same here, didn't wear gloves on 13mm rope but hands started getting trashed when I changed over to tachyon. Now I am using the thin red gloves from pfanner, they seem to give better grip on the rope than bare skin too. They do occasionally get snagged in karabiners though but I can live with that.

I wear active/power grips, used to climb without until i borrowed a pair off me mate, i found gloves somehow made me feel more secure, not that i didnt feel it before, but more so with them,

 

Only thing i dont like is when they are getting close to wearing out, they can get caught in my prussic, tho not a problem with spider jack

I use leather one from DIY shops etc. summer and winter, not too thick though as has been said, they last a couple of weeks if they don't get too wet.

The best I've ever used are the branded stihl ones but way too pricey.
