"These glove are great at protecting your hand without losing dexterity. I use them a lot when rigging ropes. The finger lengths are perfect for protecting my fingers when belaying."
"I got these gloves for flying sets, recommended to me by my mentor. They work great and my mentor's pair have lasted a long time."
"Work great for climbing. This is what my instructor recommended and they did not disappoint. Also multi purpose. I use for belaying climbers, climbing walls, and as gloves for spinning rifle in colorguard."
"I've been using the Crag Half-Finger gloves while indoor bouldering for the past 2 weeks. I tend to use gloves to prevent the build-up of calluses. The SMALL size glove's TIGHT fit is perfect for my size (5'8", 160 lbs). The leather texture of the palm and fingers provides good traction on plastic holds. I feel the texture of the glove is more consistent because leather has the qualities of skin, but won't change, where your skin will due to calluses. The key for these gloves to work for bouldering, though, is a very TIGHT FIT. Also, the quality of the construction is terrific. The leather is thin enough to work well while climbing, but thick enough to provide a durable longer life than gloves I've used in the past. I'm sure they'll wear down in maybe 6 months, but that's a lot longer than a month for my previous gloves. These are great gloves at a great price 👍🏽"
"I love them, they fit well and are so useful outdoors"
"Gloves are awesome!! Fit perfectly and are great for both out on a crag or in the rock gym!!"
"The gloves fit great! They feel extremely durable, which having bought these for canyoneering is needed. Highly recommend! Thanks black diamond for another staple in my adventures!"
"These fit like they should and provide great grip on the rope while allowing me to use my fingers for more delicate work. I highly recommend them!"
"When your hands are already aching and sore from climbing, it’s nice to take a break and belay somebody with these gloves on"
"Picked these up for belaying & rapping in cooler temps. Obviously not cold weather insulated gloves, but they’re something! and that’s all i wanted. Some warmth, a little palm protection, and dexterity. They’re great for what I was looking for. Measurements on site are also very helpful and accurate."
