[Tom Dunlap]

Is this a good deal?
Has anyone used gloves from CLC?

They are like the ironclad or mechanic gloves you see people wearing to do everything . CLC is a good glove. 5 bucks yeah thats a good deal.

looks like a good deal, let me know if you get them and if the palm side is grippy enough for climbing. A lot of those mechanic like gloves have a material on the palm that makes it hard to grip rope while climbing, if I could find some good ones for $5/pair with grip, I would by a bunch.

I used them quite a bit for flipline climbing, they get real slippery when wet thought Tom...Atlas are better for climbing.

Just a thought - lots of stitching on the palm and fingers. Stitching goes quick in rough work.

I've found the ironclads and similar gloves to wear pretty well but I abandoned them 'cause the grip just isn't good enough, Atlas still rules.

I've been using Atlas RE-GRIP gloves. They're a cotton/poly glove but with much more substantial grip material on the palm side than the atlas gloves I've purchased at the Sherrill store . I purchased them from Carlwood Safety in Largo for less than $30 for a sleeve of 12 pair. They seem to wear like iron, compared to other atlas gloves I'd previously purchased and used.

Product number on the sleeve is RN48583

Item # is AF330XL (I bought mine in size XL)

Here's a link that shows a pair.

As I said, I purchased them by a dozen pair sleeve for a much better price.

IMO best gloves out there are wonder gloves!

I have used atlas...they are way to hot compared to these

My Atlases outlast themselves in palm material before they wear out from.. stink.. material.

The CLCs are not good for climbing. They become slick. They do wear reasonably well but not for the price...

I want gloves that breathe with the durability of Atlas ..

These seem to be a lighter Atlas glove ( http://www.palmflex.com/product.php?productid=1657 ) vs the original Atlas. The only problem I have with those is the color purple is the only option.

By the way, did you guys see that Arborwear has a new website?

Stretch pants are now available ..

I'm only a rec. climber, but have been using these for a couple of years:

"Atlas 370BK Nitrile Tough"

Very thin, very strechy, breathable, with very durable Nitrile palm & fingers.
(Nitrile is much more durable than normal glove rubber.)
Very short cuff.
I buy them from a local Amish shop for $4.75/pr.

[Since they're so thin they don't get caught in my hitch as easily as thicker gloves.]
