I have very small hands and thought the XS would be great since everyone complained about them being too small. Unfortunately, they are tight on my fingers too so I can't really bend them. The palm part fits. I didn't really like the colour-it's more brown than red. I wanted gloves to protect my hands while belaying others and think this is too thin and wouldn't last. On the plus side, they are lightweight.

Gift for my wife

My wife hasn’t worn yet but I’m sure they are great. Cheers.

Great grip

Used them recently on a 3-day adventure across several canyons. Great grip, even when wet. Very comfy

Size guide is inaccurate

These glove were wayyyyyyy too small. I usually wear a large in women’s gloves and was surprised that after measuring my hand, the size guide recommended a medium so that is what I ordered. When they arrived I could barely get my hands in the gloves. They seem like nice gloves but I am disappointed that the sizing guide is so incorrect. I probably would need an x-large, not a medium. :(

Good Quality, Fits Small

I love these gloves quality wise. They are sturdy and well made, and keep me protected. I ordered the Women's size Large, and they just feel the tiniest bit snug. I loved the color though, so I didn't want to go with the men's sizing.

Runs small

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

Small

Great gloves but they run very small. I’d recommend sizing up!

Run small

Love these belay gloves, I bought a new pair to replace my old ones that were a men's xs. The women's sizes do run small though. My measurements matched the small but they are tight. Hoping they break in a bit and loosen up.

Manufacturing defect. EXTREMELY small

I have been buying this same glove for years in the xs and it always fit perfectly. I couldn’t even get these on my hand. They are more like a children’s xs and may fit a 6 yr old girl.

Gets the job done

Pros: really like the padding location on these gloves (knuckles and palms), decent color options, pull tabs to take off. Cons: sizing! I recommend sizing up. From the top of my finger to base of my palm puts me directly in the XS range (per measurement guide on BD’s site) BUT my palm takes the majority of that measurement (shorter fingers). It would have been a better fit to do a small. I’d recommend for BD to size by palm (base of palm to base of middle finger) for more accurate sizing for their half finger gloves. Overall: BD does make a good product! Good for the craig and good for via ferratas. As always, try and go somewhere to try on the product(s) you want.

Awesome Gloves

I use these gloves for rappelling and I absolutely love them. They are perfect because you can still be dexterous but your hands are totally protected when you are descending. The size I bought fits great and I just bought a backup pair as well.
