Wendy, I have enough scars, and my skin on the back of my hands doesn't recover like it used to - hence my interest in the gloves. I'm sure you are right that good technique reduces gobies - but even the best in the world lose a lot of skin when they are pushing. Looking at those photos upstream - while Pamela Shanti Pack is displaying great style on Muscle and Fitness, along with quite a lot of blood seeping through those tape glove! Here is a pic from her blog:

I haven't tried my Ocun gloves yet - will post up once I've given them a proper try. As for the crack socks - I have no intention of frequently doing climbs that might require them! I'm always impressed by wyde specialists, but no desire to emulate them.

TimP / Philipivan - Bogong have very limited sizes in stock, so not much opportunity to swap if they don't fit. How much stretch have you had since you bought them? I'd like to size them comfortably, but have done that with boots before that subsequently became unusably sloppy due to unlined uppers stretching. I have a pair of La Sportiva Mythos (44.5) that were perfect when I bought them and now just roll off small holds.
