Features

  • DURABLE and BREATHABLE: Sometimes 'durable' gloves are bulky, stiff, and uncomfortable. With the Petzl CORDEX gloves, you don't have to compromise. Soft, premium leather requires no break in period striking a perfectly balancing between dexterity and durability. Enhanced protection in high-traffic areas (fingertips, between thumb and forefinger) help prolong the CORDEX's lifespan.
  • COMFORTABLE PERFORMANCE: Only 115g 4 oz. Back of the glove is stretch nylon (for breathability) . The palm of the glove is supple high-quality leather (maintaining performance without sacrificing weight).
  • EASE OF USE: Simple, yet durable velcrohook-and-loop closure. Carabiner hole for easy storage and/or racking. No break-in period. Easy on and off.
  • ENHANCED PROTECTION: Double-layered protection in high-traffic areas (fingertips, between thumb and forefinger) help prolong the CORDEX's lifespan.
  • CARABINER HOLE: Wrist hole fits most carabiners for easy storage and/or racking on your harness or gear rack.

Description

These lightweight belay/rappel gloves combine the durability of a work glove with the precise fit and dexterity of a thinner glove. Double-layered leather protects the palm and other high-wear areas. The back is made of abrasion resistant, breathable stretch nylon, ensuring comfort and fit. The low profile neoprene cuff with Velcro closure features a reinforced carabiner hole for attaching the gloves to your harness.

  • Survived rappelling
Size: X-Small (Pack of 1) Color: Tan
I accidentally bought these lightweight rappelling gloves Instead of the thicker ones. However, went ahead and rappelled multiple times off a tower and helicopter with them and they held up. Did lose some stitches, however I should have not gotten the light ones. XS fit my hands perfectly, I love actually being able to wear gloves that fit my hands and have dexterity. ... show more

  • Patrol K9 Usage
Size: Medium (Pack of 1) 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

  • Im not a climber but...
Size: Medium (Pack of 1) 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

  • Choose the TAN colored Petzl CORDEX glove over the BLACK one for this reason . . . visibility.
Size: Medium (Pack of 1) Color: Black
This is my second Petzl CORDEX glove. The first was the tan colored Petzl CORDEX glove. My hand was between a small and medium size so I bought the small size because I thought it would stretch with use. To my surprise, it didn’t. Even though the small size didn’t fit my hands, I liked its sturdy construction and the reinforced padding at critical areas of the glove. The holes in the gloves for a carabiner are a big selling point for me because it allows me to attach them to a carabiner so they’re handy, together, and won’t get lost. Instead of the tan color, this time I purchased a medium size BLACK Petzl CORDEX glove. The only negative that I’ve found is that the BLACK color can hide the gloves at night if dropped on the ground or dropped in the shadows, inside a backpack, on the black floor mat of a vehicle, etc. The black color is like camouflage. I have to constantly remind myself to double check that I have it or else I risk leaving it behind. The retail price of the Petzl CORDEX glove is comparable to those of other well-known climbing brands. I found through experience that it’s always best to pay a little bit more for quality especially for outdoor equipment. You don’t want equipment failure while you’re on an outdoor adventure and far away from home. Would I buy the Petzl CORDEX glove again? Yes, and I did buy one again. ... show more
