these were great for the Tough Mudder I just did. It was a hot day and the gloves were hot between obstacles, but perfect in keeping hold of ropes, climbing up and down rope towers, over rough hewn boards and logs, and keeping my hands safe and relatively unharmed.

I really love these gloves. The grip is amazing. Customer service is great too. The wrong gloves were sent, I sent an email and heard back right away. The proper gloves were sent right away. Thank you.

Actually, the picture above is wrong. I got the ORC Gloves with open fingers.The first pair arrived and I was enthusiastic after testing it on my garden rig. The first gloves with a grip similar to bare hands.Then I made them wet: great grip. Then I put them in mud: great grip...Unfortunatelly, my pair had a bug: one seam opened. I thought, this can't be, as Mud Gear is knowf for tough products made to last...So I wrote them a mail. I got imediate answer from a customer service agent (Elizabeth) who was extremely friendly and helpful.Without further ado, I got the new gloves and they are just fine.Highly recommended.Not only for the quality of the product. But you know a great company when something doesn't go according to plan and how they handle complaints.My best,Bernhard

We bought gloves and sox as a Christmas gift for our son-in-law but ordered the wrong size. Even though it was busy season, the company sprang into action and quickly got the product to us. Our SIL is set for his upcoming competition!
