Does anyone know if any brand does women's belay gloves? I have very small hands (17cm finger span, 15.5cm length) and even an XS from Edelrid is way too big, which makes belaying and untying knots difficult.

Or does anyone know of a work glove that comes in really small sizes?

Thanks!

Not sur wig it'll help but I have pretty small hands too and get on ok with the fingerless black diamond ones for a bit of extra warmth when belaying.

In reply to BAdhoc:

Thanks I tried them on the other week and they're too wide for my hands unfortunately.

In reply to Ele:

try using women's or kids cycling gloves with leather palm etc?

In reply to Ele:

Yep as above either bike gloves or leather sailing gloves.

In reply to Ele:

OR...


That said, Hestra workgloves can be had at any size Hestra makes gloves...

But to be honest, something like a sailing glove might be a good option as well.

In reply to Ele:

Have you looked at leather pruning gloves from the gardening section? I use a pair that I picked up for £5, as far as I know they do ladies sizes too.

In reply to Ele:

Skytech argons now come in a small on the work gloves side, but I would not use them for belaying. For that I'd recommend a small pair of dachsteins.

In reply to Ele:

My first climbing partner used white kid gloves designed for horse riding/dressage. Could be worth checking them out as they are likely to make small sizes, but will be a bit pricey.

In reply to Ele:

I use women's cycling gloves from Aldi.

Ridiculously cheap and really good for belaying or abseiling

I thought "kid gloves" was just a metaphor

Thanks everyone! I will look around for those options
