Backcountry.com Stoic Inbounds Glove - Men's

September 1, 2009

How breathable are these gloves? My hands tend to sweat a lot even when it's cold enough that my fingertips are numb...

Also, how windproof are these?

Great steep rock shoe

Scarpa Feroce Climbing Shoe

Scarpa Feroce Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 4 August 29, 2009

This is a great shoe for overhanging rock. If you can't or don't want to wear a severely downturned shoe due to discomfort or whatever, this is the ticket. The overall last is flat to slightly downturned, but there the sole has a noticeable downturn just at the big toe. This makes the shoe perform incredibly well when toed-in on tiny edges and pockets on overhanging terrain.The downsides? These are extremely painful to wear on slabs. Vertical rock is bearable. Keep these on steep stuff where they belong. Also, the curvature and stiffness of the sole makes it difficult to smear on sloping footholds, overhanging or not.The shoe does not stretch in length at all thanks to the generous rand coverage over the toes. Heel and toe hooking performance is excellent.The Vibram XS rubber is, IMO, better than either 5.10's Stealth of Evolv's Trax. It's stickier, but may be less durable.Perfect bouldering shoe, or sport climbing shoe for places like the Red River Gorge or Rumney (where the footholds tend to be positive).

Disappointing

Hestra Snow Cross Army Glove - Men's

Hestra Snow Cross Army Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 April 8, 2009

These are the least breathable gloves I've owned.
My hands sweat a lot, even when they are cold. I wet these gloves out within an hour of skiing.

Pros:
pretty warm, great dexterity, love the long low profile cuff that easily fits under a jacket, excellent grip.

Cons:
not breathable, not waterproof, and not windproof. Given these cons, I'm not really sure what the point of these gloves is.

Excellent all-around shoe

Evolv Bandit Climbing Shoe

Evolv Bandit Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2007

The Bandit is an excellent all-around shoe. The Trax rubber is at least as good, if not better than 5.10 Stealth. Sized the same as your street shoe, the shoe is tight with toes curled, but not painful. I would go 1/2 size up for all day wear, but I can climb 2-3 pitches easily without needed to take the shoes off. Very well made; my year-old shoes are showing no abnormal degradation despite heavy use. The semi-stiff sole has a great balance between edging ability and smearing performance. I only have two gripes. 1) A slight dead space in the heel detracts from heel-hooking, but that's not what they're designed for. 2) they are relatively stiff and thus are ideal for very steep climbing, although they are not bad. Anything less than 45 degrees overhanging is just fine though.
