provides good protection
it works in terms of protection. but the finger loops could be the weakness.

better ad cheaper than tape
These are better and cheaper than taping, the velcro closure dose seem to be a bit weak and wears out. I just close it with tape or ignore it if its a short or easy crack....

Great when you get the correct size
I see complaints that these are too baggy, but if you don't overestimate your hand girth they fit like... a glove, there I said it. Dropped down to 4 star because of the super thin finger holes, will probably sew some thicker leather on myself.

Protect your hands!
I've use them for about five days now and they are really great. they really protect the back of your hands well. They feel really solid while jamming, and there is even good protection for fist jams. It seems like these might not be super durable in the long run though. The finger loops like like they are stretching out and one of the rubber pads on the back is starting to peal. I think they would last a full season but might not be much longer than that. But right now they are working great!

Great crack gloves
These are perfect minimalist gloves. Lots of friction and enough padding to keep your hands from tearing apart. There isn't a lot in terms of protection for sides of your hand or base of your fingers. But I'll just tape up if I need that much protection.

Not durable enough
These are comfortable and very grippy, but they are super worn after only three or four pitches of climbing. They look likely to break after < 10 pitches.

My favorite crack gloves
Good crack gloves. Not the most durable. The finger loops break eventually. The wristband wears through at the velcro, but a single wrap of tape around the wrist every time you put them on will prevent this.

Work great
Love love love these gloves. Never climb without them. Best "feel" out there for sure.

last about as long as tape...
These gloves only lasted about 10 pitches until the glue failed. I called to ask about it and was told I should expect them only to last 10 pitches. Tape lasts 10 pitches and is a lot cheaper than these gloves. One trip up the captain is about 30 pitches... Not sure why they can't use a better glue or stitch the rubber to the base fabric. All that said these gloves are nice and thin and climb well until they fall to pieces, definitely not preventing waste though and seem way overpriced...

Work great - seem fragile
They feel great! But I have some concerns about how long they will last.
