Climbing gloves

[MaximusExcelsior]

Can anyone recommend a good pair of gloves to use when climbing? Ideally with good grip, the ones I use at the moment often get caught in my Prusik which gets irritating sometimes. What do you guys use?

after many, many different pairs I now use showa 330 power grip. never had a pair delaminate into my knot. last about 2/3 weeks before they wear through(need to find a lefty who I can do swaps with)

I'll second old mill on that. Very close fit, and the grippiest I have tried. Mine only last a week or two full time climbing but at £3.60 a pair its not too bad.

 

I have found that when descending, it's better to pull your hitch down with thumb and forefinger from above, rather than wrap your palm around the rope and hitch and pull. It prevents the palm of your glove getting pulled into the hitch.

I like these Wondergrip Premium Waterproof Foam Latex Gloves - EN388 (2231) - Pair - MC-WG-338

 

Never tried the pfanner ones though

Get yourself down costco they have some gloves in their that come in a pack of ten for about 12 pound their called tornado contour avenger and their the best gloves for climbing in I've ever used! Good grip, tight enough not to get stuck in friction devices and thin enough to be able to undo krabs/knots/take a leak without any problems and cheep enough to throw away when their nakerd I can get 2 weeks to a month out of a pair depending on the climbing and the weather!

Yep I agree with that decent gloves. Only a few quid to, I'm forever losing gloves so it no real heartache if I misplace one too. I wouldn't break the bank buying gloves I've never came across a pair that last.

Just don't lower with the pfanner gloves they burn out quite quickly haha
