picked up a couple pairs of these at northern tool. havent tried them climbing yet, but seems like they are gonna have some serious gripping power (less carpal tunnel). $10/pair, they claim to be 10x more durable than latex dipped gloves. I've noticed latex gloves seem to lose there grip in colder weather. These also have knuckle protection. We'll see how they do?
 
If they are anything like the Carhartt gloves that Graingers sells that look like that, they are junk for climbing. Tried a pair last year and they shredded in one climb. They look like they would be great performers, but they were a big disappointment.
 
I went through two pairs of the Carhartt branded Pro Knucklers last season. They're the only rubber palmed gloves I've used that I wore out the fabric back before the rubber. I wish they had a kevlar version.
 
I tried them, as I thought they looked promising. Shredded on one oak, and I can't afford $10 per day for gloves.

Picked up a pair today at Pep Boys, serious grip but maybe too much for a good thing. On the trip down they seem to grip too well and look like they will wear quickly because of that. Also, I don't know when I did it, but over the knuckle on on the back side my right hand is already ripped.
On my last TreeStuff order they tossed in a few of those blue dipped gloves and I like those, I'll have to look into what they cost but imagine they are pretty reasonable.
 
I bought a pair at pep boys a year ago. They were SUPER grippy. I loved them at first. But they fell apart in just a couple hours in one tree. It ripped open on the knuckle and the grip just wore away in chunks. Fun while it lasted, but didn't seem good enough to want to buy more.
