USED ​​ON HALF DOME - YOSEMITE HIKE

SIZE: I ordered small. I followed the measurements given. The length of my hand from the base of my wrist to the tip of my middle finger is just over 6.5 inches. The small one left an inch of space between my fingers and the tip of the glove, and when I clenched my fist or wrapped myself around something, it was obvious the space was increasing. This was generally not a problem. But I want them to fit perfectly as I will be doing the same hike again next year. So I will most likely buy these gloves again but in VERY SMALL. The rest of the gloves adapt perfectly to the width of the hands and fingers! GRIP: These gloves offer SO GRIP! I threw it on the edge of the dresser and the glove hung on the edge all night. I can imagine how easy it is to reach for glass and other slippery objects! COMFORT: They fit well. No uncomfortable friction in the glove, even when my hands are sweaty. The wrist strap is securely fixed without Velcro. USE ON THE HALF COUPLING CABLES: My arms didn't get tired at all pulling myself over the cables. It also gave me more traction and stopping power on the way down. Without them I would not have been able to climb up or down the cables. These gloves have exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a durable and quality pair of gloves with a good grip. I will probably buy additional small ones and recommend them to EVERYONE climbing Half Dome. =
