These are great gloves, but the seams in mine are a little bit sharp, especally on the little finger. Otherwise the fit is great, feels very true to size. a definite must have for anyone doing any kind of extended rappeling. the 3/4 fingers make tying knots a breeze and organizing gear is easy. not too sure how well they would work with normal climbing, but they are super for rappeling! Buy them now, your hands will thank you!
