Petzl CORDEX M Belay Gloves - Black

Double-layer leather palm reinforcement meets stretch nylon breathability in the Petzl CORDEX M, a belay glove built for high-dexterity rope work. The hybrid construction pairs natural leather on high-wear zones with a flexible nylon back, giving you precise control without overheating. A neoprene cuff with Velcro closure keeps the glove secure, while the carabiner hole lets you clip it to your harness for quick access.
