Handjammies are a pair of sawed-off palmless gloves, which protect the back of the hands whilst jamming on the route of your choice. Each glove is made of a skin-saving piece of sticky rubber with nylon loops attached for the fingers and thumb, and a velcro-ized wrist strap that secures it to your hand. They also have a few thin foam cushions glued under the rubber approximately where the knuckles should line up.

OBS

These very simple devices are wonderful if you like crack climbing but don’t like the hassle and time of taping up your hands, or alternatively, using bare hands and leaving large amounts of skin on the rock as a souvenir of your passage.

Thrives in your coldroom. Cold and condensation-proof design using continuous warming protects internal components in humid environments, even when FC, Jr. is turned off. And its 28 cm width often fits it where other collectors can’t go. Another plus for high humidity operation is greatly reduced shock hazard : FC Jr. operates on 14 volts supplied by a calculator-type transformer on the wall end of a thin, low-voltage cord that's easy to route past your refrigerator door gasket.
