Climbing gloves

[Guest Robin@Arbortec]

I'm not going to recommend a pair of gloves, as we sell them I'd have a clear bias!

 

But as the talk is about climbing gloves wear and tear, I was interested in any feedback on a new variation of our cut resistant climbing gloves we're doing, ones with 150mm extended cuffs. The idea is that this would provide some extra protection to the forearm, or the cuff could be rolled up to 'double up' round the wrist area. How useful a feature is it?

I thought I'd use my real name after the recent threads on that, but the account name is to highlight my company affiliation.

Hi Robin,

If you'd like to send me a pair I'd be happy to try them out and write a full detailed review in the product section of this site.

 

From first glance the cuffs look handy (excuse that) for the colder months, but may get a bit too warm/cumbersome in t shirt weather, never mind the hideous tan lines

 

What I look for in a climbing glove is:

Very snug and light

Non restrictive

Grippy

Reasonably priced

Durable

 

The last two are interchangeable.

 

The pfanner fine grip tick every box except the last, but at £3 it's not a deal breaker.

It's not very useful at all unless you're on I'm a Celebrity and you have to put your hand into a tank of Scorpions to find the tokens.

If you ping me an address to send them to I'd be happy to send out a couple of review pairs. It's a product that is coming up for further development, so any review points or feedback can be fed back for the next model.

 

Unfortunately they didn't buy the idea of a special 'bikini friendly' model for 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' so my idea of fitting them for eligible celebs has ended.

PM sent.

 

Tell you what, if I get on with them I'll donate the full amount to Arbtalk's preferred charity.

 

Plus you'll have a new customer ::

 

Sound fair?

Pfanner gloves I've tried countless makes and styles but the pfanner gloves are very good good for the price i get mine at £2.80 a pair (buying at least ten pairs) have two pairs in different states of deterioration seems to be a good set up at the mo.

How about 2 in 1 Gloves.
