Red pfanner gloves are very good just don't last unfortunately

I get about 3 weeks out of mine, the grip goes towards the end, which is an arse with the zigzag.

Yeah 3 weeks I would say is tops, I use a lock jack and burn through the grips on descends which then makes hand over hand ascents impossible

If you can't afford a new pair every week then you're doing something wrong!

I buy my own when i shouldn't have to, the boss only provides them crap sticky gloves, cant even do a carabiner in them.

Mechanix M-Pact 3 Hard Knuckle Covert Gloves Large Black available through Amazon £39.95

 

Brilliant Gloves for climbing - Kevlar knuckle protection so don't worry about bashing the backs of my hands into any part of tree - not going to even notice, got loads of dexterity in the fingers and thin but tough leather palm for good wear but good grip - love 'em!

Why shouldn't you have to buy them? They aren't mandatory ppe so an employer isn't obliged to provide you with them. I'm particular about what gloves I wear so I just buy my own!
