Great for learning with as they're simple to put on and eliminate nearly all pain in bad technique.
However, they are really insensitive so cause some major problems once you progress beyond around E2. They serve their purpose! When you're cruising Harvest in a pair and someone moans about cheating - hand them the sharp end of the rope and the gloves and watch them change their mind.
Oh yeah - they're also not super hard wearing. Only last around 400 jamming routes I'd say.
