Womens rap/belay gloves ?
|
Looking for some gloves for my wife,Are there female specific gloves ? I can only seem to find uni/mens. |
|
My wife uses the OR air brake gloves. They seem pretty good. |

I'm having trouble finding gloves for my wife that fit. She's got these xs hands (killer for cracks and crimps though), and nothing fits "like a glove", even when they're the "correct" size. The gloves that do fit are too bulky to allow her to get a grip on the rope at all. Anyone else have that problem? |

My wife has really small hands too. Try Rab and Mountain Equipment. Both make really great gloves and they really fit well. The ME Super Alpine is the bomb as a climbing glove for both women and men. the Rab Baltoro is a warmer awesome climbing soft shell glove as well. Take a look at them. They really are impressive. |

Outdoor Research's website might still have their women's belay gloves on sale for half off. They're excellent. |

Have her go to a hardware store and try on a bunch of work gloves. It's a lot cheaper too. They store can usually punch a hole in the leather for a quickdraw to hang off your harness. |
|
Work gloves tend to be a bit floppy around the fingers. |

They fit better than the men's version and are way more durable than my golf gloves. The pink is pretty overwhelming, but surprisingly, my girlfriend likes it (and she hates most pink girls crap). |

They are uni-sex (I think) but they are pretty slim cut in the hand and fit her well. montane.co.uk/range/accesso… |
