Nick Niebuhr wrote: The fit is kinda the opposite of the 282, which is why it fits me so much better. Compared to the 282 it has narrower, longer fingers. IMO they do everything better than the 282 as long as it fits you |

I was unimpressed with the petzl headlamp I bought and think black diamond insight is much better. I forget the petzl model but the lights were a similar price point, both with rechargeable batteries. The petzl felt like cheap plastic and did not even pretend to be water proof. The onsight has better and brighter light even though the petzl advertised more lumens Neither belong on the best gear ever list. |

The lining pulls out of them and the grippy coating wears off the first time you go to flake out your rope. I actually had Ed Hannam send me a pair of real gauntlet-style 406 clones from Japan. They're amazing! Fit and quality is the same as the actual Showas. Good luck finding these outside of Japan; I've already tried  |

Seems like every brand has their own, so you can pick the one that fits, but the concept of the Patagonia Houdini is absolutely 10/10. Once I put it on, I just never take it off for the rest of the day. |
John Edwin wrote: I love those I don’t know why I haven’t thought to use them. I think I do really love the extended collar on the 282’s though. The fit is much better on the 406. Showa just generally makes great gloves, I work in commercial fishing and there’s no other glove we use than the 377. |

They have multiple inseams available, too! Edelrid bulletproof HMS carabiner. I’ll never need a to buy another rappel carabiner as long as I have this thing. |
