"Great climbing gloves, durable and good fit. True to fit."
"Very nice…i love it…"
"Great quality glove and fits perfectly."
"These gloves are a good fit and made for durability. I have good dexterity while wearing them."
"Not the best fit."
"These gloves are good for not getting your skin messed up when belaying and also keeping your hands clean when your rope is super super dirty. They are also super light. The only thing i dont like is that they are not super super durable but also idk if you would have as much dexterity if they were."
"These gloves will be a great addition to ground work at the crag. They run a little small, so I am glad that I got the large size."
"I am a glove guy. . . . . The are the best constructed and best fitting gloves I have ever owned. I have had them in multiple conditions, and they have worked and held up great. Ordered an additional pair in the event I lose these to my son. . . . ."
"I’m an xl and the right glove was a little small. Customer service offered to exchange them but I’ve been wearing them lifting and doing workouts with kettle bells to break them in. Solid glove! I’m going to wear them as work gloves and for hunting. Go BD!"
"Perfect, exactly what I wanted. Small enough for my tiny hands."
