What we liked
- + Half-finger cut keeps fingertips free for knots, gates and clipping while the palm stays covered for rope handling
- + Reinforced synthetic leather palm and fingers, described as built for ropes, belay devices and via ferrata rungs
- + Ventilated mesh back and the lowest price in this guide make it an easy first pair for warm-weather cragging
Trade-offs
- - Bare fingertips get no cover from a running rope, so it suits belaying better than long rappels
- - Synthetic palm and mesh back add almost no warmth, so this is a warm-weather glove only
