  • Im not a climber but... 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • The Best Work Gloves I’ve Ever Owned The Best Work Gloves I’ve Ever Owned
Size: Large Color: Beige
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

  • Patrol K9 Usage Patrol K9 Usage
Size: Medium Color: Black
I had issues finding a glove to hold up to hundreds of deployments with my 85 pound Malinois leading me with a twenty foot leash. I decided to try a fast rope glove and it's worked great. Pros: Easy to put on Comfortable durable (not forever) Comfortable Just a great overall glove Cons : Touch screen is meh You will have to replace eventually These get a ton of work with me and my K9 and hold up well. Over time, about once a year, I have to replace them bexause a hole will start in a finger. But we're talking 10 to 20 searches a month some lasting up to 5 miles. I can't change from them because nothing seems to work as well. ... show more

  • Recommend
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.

  • Worth the money
Size: Large Color: Beige
Worked well for me. A little tough to break in but once you do some longer rappels they break in nicely. Stiff at first but very good quality compared to standard issue rappel gloves.
