Jay Willis wrote:Rubber gloves certainly don't look as cool as tapeing up, but that's not the point. It's not that tape doesn't work or that these make jamming easier. The reason people buy these gloves is so that they don't have to go through endless rolls of tape. Also useful if just doing a single pitch of jamming.I think the reason people buy these is they don't know better... Endless rolls of tape? I reuse my tape gloves, they last me many pitches (about 6 months?) and I can throw them on for single pitches without taping the wrists if I just want them for one pitch. |

Dave Birkbeck wrote:Probably these... ocun.cz/en/products/technic…Agreed, looks like Ocuns. I've climbed cracks without tape, with tape, with hand jammies® and with the Ocuns. As far as crack gloves go, the Ocuns are my favorite. Low profile and the closest thing to taping up but much faster and, in the long run, likely cheaper than all the rolls of tape one might go through in their life.

I "know better" and still will use crack gloves from time to time. (As well as reuse my tape gloves for many sessions.) Tape up or use crack gloves. Effectually the two options are identical--reduce skin loss and reduce discomfort. |

Fun oddity for ladies, sorta neat for flashing your bro's in bars, but definitely not something a man would do long term.

Yeah...and sticky rubber climbing shoes are for girly-men. Real men where hobnail boots. |

He noticed my hands were shredded and asked about them, I told him I was working a roof crack. He asked me if I had ever heard of tape... |

Can I use those when wanking it? If so, will they prevent chaffing? |

I still have, and use, a pair of Dave Crawford's original Spider Mitts. |

Men who tape probably also use condoms. |
