Reviewers praise the Stone Gloves for sturdy leather construction and longevity, using them for belaying, rappelling, aid and big-wall climbing, rope access and search and rescue. The main critique is sizing, which is inconsistent: some say they run small and others say they run large. A few found them stiff until broken in, and one rescue team had the Velcro flap stitching fail early.

"Ive used the gloves about 10 trips and been really impressed. The construction is sturdy, material is light but not thin, and they fit well as expected. I wear a size xl winter glove and these fit that size"
"I previously had other gloves from BD that I loved and decided to try these out. Absolutely amazing! They feel great and are perfect for whatever when out climbing and especially for search and rescue missions. When you have to be handling hundreds of meters of rope and other gear, over long hours, these are absolutely perfect! Also pretty awesome for the days of single pitches too!"
"Nice fit very comfortable"
"Quality gloves, wish it was a little easier to clip them together with a carabiner but might just be the carabiner I'm using."
"Bought them for my wife, we both work at a challenge ropes course and do a lot of belaying and these gloves are great for that."
"So far so good. Fit properly to size. Will see how they hold up but great gloves so far"
"Really good quality and material. I work at an adventure park and I can already tell these will last me longer than my normal gloves. Only complaints is not having a carabiner loop to attach them to my harness with, and that they come a bit large, so I recommend ordering two sizes down. Over all I’m really happy with my purchase."
"I’m on my third pair of these and that’s not because they don’t last. They do. I just use them an awful lot. Great gloves."
"Fit great, not bulky, exactly what i was looking for"
"As you’d expect from BD products, these gloves are of great quality and perfect for multi-pitch and rope access settings. I personally use them for recreational arborism and they work a treat!"
