Hand Jammies?

have a pair, used them once - the rubber is so thick it messes me up in hand cracks. Keep 'em in my closet now. Use tape.

Hey KD - how do they perform on fist cracks?

Not sure - used 'em once couldn't jam b/c they were too big - found a stance and grounded 'em then and there :) They'd probably do okay though ya jus gotta be more patient than i am i guess.

I just don't like anything between my skin and the rock. Maxiamum sensitivity. Unless the crack really calls for protection, then a little bit of tape is all you need.

I tried tape once, ended up ripping it off part way up the climb.

I only tape on stuff where I think my jams are going to slip - steep/roof cracks or fist/OW stuff - or really sharp cracks. Spent two weeks at the creek, never taped once. Spent a month at vedauwoo, taped every day.

I tried them a couple of times a few years ago, but I didn't inhale. Oops, I meant to say I didn't like them very much and I have not used them since then.
