  • Im not a climber but...
Size: Medium Color: Black
While I do not climb or rappel, I am something of a glove addict. Please see the other reviews if climbing is what you are into. My review is geared more towards the "average Joe" who, while not a climber, is looking for a glove that fits better than a traditional leather work glove yet is cheaper than say a tactical glove by Oakley. Fit: The gloves fit great. I am a medium/small size and usually this means that medium sized gloves are just a little large. The construction of these gloves made it so the fit is great. While there is a little space (given the size of my hands) they fit better than other glove brands of the same size. Feel: These gloves feel great. For a leather glove the feel is extremely comfortable. Not to mention the fact that you do not lose a lot of dexterity with these gloves. I test the dexterity of a glove by picking up a quarter from a flat surface. While the gloves performed only marginally well in this test, that should not be considered a significant negative factor given the manufacturers intention for these gloves. However, compared to a traditional leather work glove, the Petzl performed amply better. The quarter test is only as useful as the purpose of the glove in relation to the quality of the gloves build. For me, that test is something of a matrix style analysis. Construction: With all gloves you have to be concerned about the stitching. For example, I have a pair of Tac-Force gloves that I love because they are light weight but unfortunately, the seams on my index fingers are beginning to rip after 5 months of use. Whereas, these Petzl gloves are holding out great so far. I even thrashed my hand with a SOG seal pup elite last week and the double leather palm kept me from slicing myself. Potential uses: As noted above, I do not climb. However, I have used this glove in other glove related scenarios that you may be involved in. I have used them in snow and I found them to be less than satisfactory with regards to warmth but great with shoveling. Especially if you have an old splintered wood shovel. I also use them in day to day wear for warmth, germaphobia and offensive/defensive capabilities. Luckily I have not had to protect myself with them on but as mentioned above, my fingers are quite mobile in these Petzls. It should be noted that I can deploy my SOG flash I (everyday carry blade) with satisfactory ability in these gloves. Again, you trade some dexterity for protection, I am not as fast at opening my knife as I am with say my Tac-Force gloves. I have also dry fired my Sig with ok results, making it not a bad (but not great) option for a tactical style glove. I have also used these gloves driving. I would highly recommend them for that alone. Leather is nice when driving, depending on your steering wheel, because it allows you to let the wheel slide back to less resistance after making a turn. Cons: This glove is not the best for weather below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I realize that this is beyond the scope of what the glove was made for. I raise the point only to inform people of its limits. The back of the glove is made of a fabric that does not do a lot to slow wind or cold as compared to something like say leather or even Neoprene. It should be obvious but is probably worth mentioning that the smooth leather on this glove was designed to allow rope to slide through. Other things, like soft fabrics, will also slide easily with these gloves. So if grip is something you are concerned about then you should not be handling your friends baby or something fragile and slippery with them on. Conclusion: For the price, these are great gloves. I have been contemplating picking up another pair in tan and painting them multicam in another project I am working on. I give these gloves 5 stars for the above reasons including the great price I paid for them ($25). *** 2017 UPDATE *** So, I was reading the news and saw this pic (see above) of a navy seal using this glove. That was neat to see because my review is intended for shooting enthusiasts. The pic is from a raid in Yemen, I believe. This glove is great for its dexterity to protection ratio. If you do run and gun drills, this is a great option. I know guys who cut out half of the index finger. The gloves are great even you are changing mags, switching to secondary, dealing with an FTE, etc. ... show more

Size: Large Color: Black
I use these as a firefighter for both technical rescue with ropes as well as utility gloves in my gear. They're sturdy and reliable and have more padding than other utility gloves I've had. Sizing was spot on and, alright although it doesn't initially feel like it, they provide great grip.

  • Fantastic Gloves for Indoor & Outdoor Belaying
Size: X-Small Color: Beige
I originally purchased these gloves to protect a flapper I had on my palm so I could belay my partner without having to tape my whole hand. I've continued to use these for belaying all of the time, and they're easily now one of my indispensable pieces of climbing gear for both gym and outdoor climbing. I belay with a Gri Gri and the gloves aren't too bulky to make it difficult to hold the device while lead belaying. They're thick enough to protect my palms while lowering my partner, but have enough sensitivity that I can feel the rope at all times. My partner is heavier than I am, and these gloves allow me to lower him much more smoothly and at a better speed than I was able to do with bare hands. They're very durable with the leather palms, but have a nice breathable material for the back of the hand that keeps my hands from sweating. I also like the feature that they have a hole near the wrist. I keep the glove for my brake hand attached to my GriGri carabiner and harness so I never misplace it while climbing indoors. For climbing outdoors, it was a great way to keep my hands from turning pitch black from dirty ropes as well as being able to lower my partner more smoothly. The only downside with these gloves was getting the hand of lead belaying on the Gri Gri - if you balance the lip of the belay device on your finger, it feels different with a glove on. It was easy to get used to after a few belays, however, and would not prevent me from buying another pair if these should ever wear out. I am an average build woman, and bought a size XS - it fit perfectly. I have smaller hands and usually wear a size small for winter gloves, etc. ... show more

  • One week in and so far so good! Anyways
Size: Medium (Pack of 1) Color: Beige
One week in and so far so good! Anyways, for work I am around cranes daily. That means I am constantly running, pulling, and sliding rope through my hands. I was looking for a glove that will withstand abuse from rope work as well as have enough dexterity so I can quickly tie knots such as a clove hitch, timber hitch, or butterfly knot without removing a glove. Thus far in my career I have butchered through set after set of mechanic gloves. They typically last about 2 months of daily use before the holes get so bad that I throw them away. I do not know why, in my two years here, that I have not tried rappelling gloves yet. Hopefully these withstand a longer amount of time then mechanic gloves. As far as fit, I bought a M set to be safe. Normally I fit gloves right in-between S and M. These seemed to be true to the fit as they were slightly too big, but very comfortable. I believe small would be slightly too small. Like I said before, they are very comfortable and they honestly breath a lot better than past gloves. I can tie knots with them, even my shoe laces which normally pose the biggest challenge. After a week of constant use, they are holding up great. I see no signs of wear on the palms, even next to my thumb where gloves normally break. Hopefully these last about 6 months as they are pricy. I will update if they do or do not.

  • Don't be a fool, wrap your tool! And practice safe wheeling...
Size: Large Color: Black
... with something that fits, well, like a glove? In all seriousness, while I can't comment on the utility of these gloves in their marketed context of climbing, I CAN comment on their utility from the perspective of a paraplegic who needs to protect his hands from the day to day abuse of trekking across the streets (and hills) of SF in a manual wheelchair. As far as durability goes, I've only been actively using these for a little over four months, and historically, my gloves have started to give way six months to a year in. They're holding up pretty well so far, with double stitching and layering in areas that tend to see more stress when climbing: which, coincidentally happen to overlap with the areas stressed when applying pressure to manually brake your wheels. And, of course, we can't forget about comfort and fit! As is usually the case with leather, these definitely took some time to break in: pretty stiff (and slightly uncomfortable) in the beginning, they softened up and started better conforming to the shape of my hand around two weeks of active use (roughly 15 miles of pushing). Once broken in, the fingers fit pretty snugly, though the palms have quite a bit of puffiness from the loose fit, leading to the dilemma of a medium probably being too tight around the fingers, but the large being too large around the palms. Even with the large, there's a bit of give in the fingers (though this may be due to the looser palm fit), which unfortunately leads to the uncomfortable pinching of my index fingers while rolling about every so often. So, not perfect, but pretty good, and certainly worth the premium I paid over the usual 3-pack gardening work gloves I used to pick up from Costco! ... show more

  • ... a year now and I can't get over how good they are
Size: Medium (Pack of 1) Color: Beige
I've had these gloves for a little over a year now and I can't get over how good they are. I've used these gloves for wood processing in the forest while camping, rappelling from cliff faces, as work gloves to handle pieces of raw aluminum (very sharp edges), and in the field on while conducting military exercises. They've been dragged through dirt and gravel in the pouring rain for almost a week straight. The gloves fit great. I always buy a size medium glove and these fit just as expected. The feel of these gloves are wonderful. The goat skin leather is both soft and tough, and don't seem to dry out as much as cow skin after being in heavy rain. I got these to replace a pair of BLACKHAWK tactical SOLAG gloves that weren't only $15 more expensive than these, but also fell apart after a few months of use. I've not only used the Petzl gloves harder that the previous onse, but for a much longer duration with no signs of them giving up. The palms are double-layer leather, but I still find that I have enough dexterity to use these as shooting gloves and for general purpose wear. They're not close to a Mechanix glove, but I'd rather have the added wear resistance. The back side of the gloves are extremely well ventilated so my hands stay cool regardless of the added material on the palm. The only reason I'm buying a new pair is because I already have the tan ones, but a military school I'm going to required all black gloves to be worn. The only thing I wish these had was touchscreen capability, but that's just an added feature. ... show more

  • Excellent gloves but now discontinued- good luck finding a pair.
Size: Medium Color: Black
These are great work gloves. I’ve used them a lot over the years. Not super heavy duty, but well made and durable. I believe they’ve been discontinued now tho- last pair I bought in the past 6 or so months, I struggled to find - but finally did, at some online retailer via Amazon.

These are my absolute favorite work gloves. I bought a pair about 15 years ago and they held up for years of hard use. I finally had to replace them, and the new pair is just as good—lightweight, breathable, and durable. If they’re still making these in another 15 years, I’ll buy them again without hesitation. ... show more
