Good Belay Gloves

By James C Watts Ranked #16 - Climbing Accessories and Training April 16, 2009

These gloves work well for catching big whippers without roasting your hands up (rope burn is no fun). They're very tough, but thin enough that you can manage biners and knots without taking them off (although undoing really tight overhands or fig8s might require removal). Also, they work pretty well keeping your hands warm while belaying / hiking / sitting around in slightly chilly conditions. Plus, the clip hole is convenient for racking them on your harness for multi-pitch climbs. Obviously, they work pretty well for rappelling too. Quite good overall.
