    jfoxVery good...

    for the price! Only $25 for these really soft goatskin gloves. I've done several 90' rappels in these babies and my hands were very well protected. They have a small loop for hooking them into a biner when not in use. The extra thick palms prevent heat build-up on those long descents. I recommend them highly! Good for belaying as well if you like to wear gloves while belaying a climber.

    We used these gloves for professional work and belay, the fit is great but they are not very durable, most gloves were worn out after 4 months, but for the price the gloves are ok.
