Climbing Gloves: For the Right Grip

Choose climbing gloves based on your planned activity and the demands of the route. Climbing gloves are selected according to their intended use. When handling ropes, the fit and grip must work well together. Check whether the design is suitable for your application. A glove is no substitute for the proper use of belay devices. Test important techniques first under expert guidance.

Belay Gloves: Selection Criteria

• Application: Check the intended use. Clarify any questions using the specific product information.
• Fit: Pay attention to finger mobility. Take your existing gear into account when comparing options.
• Grip: Test how the gloves handle with your equipment. Test them before first use, if possible.
• Condition: Inspect areas subject to wear and tear. Compare the options based on your specific planned use.

Test small pieces of clothing in action

Try out new items together with your existing clothing. Under a backpack or during repetitive movements, you may notice areas that seem fine when you’re standing still. Test key movements before your first outing. Also plan where you’ll store the items when they’re not in use. Items that are frequently put on and taken off should be easily accessible. Compare materials and care instructions based on specific product information, rather than assuming special features based on a sporty appearance.

Choose climbing gloves based on your specific needs and take your time comparing models. The “Accessories & Gloves” section offers a helpful overview. Explore the selection online or ask any questions during a consultation at the store.
