Yeah, i reckon belay gloves are great. I don't know why elite climbers don't use them. From a performance point of view they are great especially at really dirty crags such as Baronia or South Central, with out them your hands and filthy dirty after belay after belaying which is not what you want before pulling on for that hard redpoint. i have tried a few different types but have found that light cotton gardening style gloves with rubberised palm and fingers to be the best. If you are working routes you will probably get a better belay if you partner is using them aswell. My girlfriend always had trouble gripping the rope to bounce up when i was dogging moves but now has no problem at all with the grippy gloves.
