BLACK DIAMOND Crag Half-Finger Gloves

These are ace. Second pair and bought some for a friend. Good for cragging when its freezing

I bought these gloves for my partner who needed them for pulling the ropes on his Blokart, he is pleased that they fulfil his needs.

I'm only just "learning the ropes" with climbing but for what I've done these are brilliant allowing the user to keep full sense for feeling where to grip with fingers, and remove the risk of injury from rope burns etc on decents.

I write this review not as a climber but as a wheelchair user.
I have used many different makes and types of finger less and half finger gloves but these with their leather padded palms and breathable webbing mean I can use them with out getting pressure sores on my palms or sweat rashes on the backs of my hands. Excellent product 5 stars. Thank you.

Finally someone got the hint we need something like that. Before I spotted a pair of those, I have been using cycling gloves as they are very simmilar (mesh on the outside and leather on the inside).
The product itself is excellent and protects your palms perfectly from "flappers". You will still get an odd blister and worn finger tips but nothing like going bare handed. You can't see this in the picture but the leather on the palm side have extended "flaps" so the inside of your hand is protected up to the first joint.
Only downsides I can think of are:
1. Padding on the palm side, great for belaying and handling the rope, but you lose some feel when climbing.
2. Palm side have some stitching, I have only used them 4 times and I don't know how it will stand to the abrasion over time.

If you are a starter or coming back to climbing after a long break, or if you are 17 stone bloke like me who like to dyno sometimes than you need a pair. For this price you won't regret it.
Highly recommended especialy for indor bouldering.
