I use similar gloves to these "Framer Glove" and I particularly like the ability to handle knots and working the ropes with the exposed fingers. Durability has been Ok so far they are about one year old and they show some degree of abrasion from the rope along the palm of the hand area. I always climb with gloves and these type of gloves protect my hands well and keep them warm in cooler conditions. They are a bit more expensive ($20) than the leather gloves ($8) I used before but they are a well worth investment. I get mine at Home Depot because they are easy to locate there.

I used to put my gloves on, and take them off, and put them on again so many times during a climb to tie this or untie that or clip this that it wasn't unusual to drop one at some point or another. Those days are long gone with my Ironclad Framers. I can easily manage all of the tasks that are part of my climb with my gloves still on, and for some reason that really makes me happy. I like simplicity. I know my hands are going to be sheathed, and the design is intelligent enough that there is even an absorbent terrycloth part of the glove to wipe my brow with. They're comfortable, and can even handle a rappel. Two thumbs
(and four fingers) way up!
