What we liked
- + Goat leather palm, reinforced in high-wear zones, for abrasion resistance where the rope runs through the hand
- + Stretch mesh back keeps the glove lighter and cooler than all-leather designs on long days at the crag
- + Hook-and-loop wrist strap gives an adjustable fit that is quick to take on and off between climbs and belays
Trade-offs
- - A mesh back covers the knuckles less than the all-leather Metolius gloves when a rappel runs close to rough rock
- - The listing does not mention a carabiner loop or clip-in hole for carrying the pair on a harness
