        Comments about PMI Fingerless Belay Gloves:

        I use these gloves for at the indoor climbing gym. i like them when belaying. once i picked out the best size for me, i made sure to use them quite a bit to help break them in. at first, it was a lil tight around the palm section, so when making a fist i could feel the constraint. but after i broke them in, they feel great. these are pretty lightweight and durable tho. it comes with a flap piece in between the middle and ring finger which make these gloves very easy to remove, a huge plus for me.

        i've tried some of the other ones offered at rei, and i just wasn't happy with the amount of effort it took to get them off. also, these were a few bucks cheaper than the others.

        i haven't tried bouldering or anything other than indoor stuff, but i do like these for use at the indoor gym.

          Comments about PMI Fingerless Belay Gloves:

          I think that the PMI belay gloves are great for protecting your hands when you are belaying a lot during an event. They're lightweight and strong enough to protect your hands from the rope. The best thing I like about these gloves compared to others is that it has that little leather piece that you can use to tug the gloves off easier and quickly. It also has another leather strip near the base of the gloves for hooking them to your harness with a carabiner. Definitely useful because you probably wouldn't wanna climb in these gloves. The leather is soft and has some stretch. I've only used it a few times but it seems to getting more comfortable as i break them in more. Good gloves for the price. I recommend these gloves for anybody that just needs a simple pair to belay with so that your hands aren't hurting for when you want to climb up the walls.

          Comments about PMI Fingerless Belay Gloves:

          I do a lot of serious strength training and like to wear gloves to avoid beating up my hands, but I have never found a pair of gloves intended for this use that I liked. This is my second pair of these gloves and I love them. I got more than 2 years of hard use out of the first pair, although they were pretty beat up at the end.

            I have used them for belaying only and they great. Wash with light dishwasher liquid and rinse then air dry they stay supple. Need to buy a size up for snug fit.

              Comments about PMI Fingerless Belay Gloves:

              I not only use these gloves for recreational climbing, but I am also a high ropes facilitator and use them daily as I work on our high ropes course. These gloves make belaying much more comfortable, not to mention my hands don't smell like weathered steel at the end of the day. The light weight leather is very durable and provide better grip even when wet. The only thing to keep in mind is that these gloves are leather and just like any other leather product they will stretch over time so make sure you buy them snug.

              • Belaying

              Comments about PMI Fingerless Belay Gloves:

              I bought these fingerless gloves in hopes that I would be able to tie knots while wearing the gloves. However, they are still a bit bulky to do that well since the fingers interfere(I have short fingers and wide palms). However, they are good quality and light-weight, which is nice. The major reason I would not buy these again is that I got friction burns when using them rappelling - the fingers were too short for where the rope naturally lies in my controlling hand on fast rappels. If I were just belaying a climber or using it for a controlled rappel (top-roping), then perhaps these would prevent burns. As it is, for what I need them for, I can't use them. :(
