OUTDOOR RESEARCH SEAMSEEKER GLOVE

It can take years of painful jamming, smearing and Jumaring to build up the calluses of a veteran climber. And though hands that look and feel like an old baseball mitt can be seen as a badge of honor, sometimes you want to protect your paws on the rock. The SeamSeeker Gloves™ are half-finger big wall gloves with durable split-suede overlays, Kevlar stitching and gel pockets on the palm; the gel pockets absorb and dissipate heat caused by the friction created during heavy ropework. A super-fabric back of hand stops payment on the pound of flesh big multi-pitch climbs often extract, meaning you'll still be able to close your hands around a pint glass once you're back on the deck.
