PETZL CORDEX+ Belay/Rap Glove Tan XS — Durable Leather Climbing Glove

Overview

The PETZL CORDEX+ Belay/Rap Glove in tan is built for climbers and rope technicians who demand durability, reliable grip, and hands ready for quick moves between holds and carabiners. The construction centers on natural leather with reinforced layers in high wear spots, delivering a sturdy feel without sacrificing dexterity. The back of the hand uses abrasion resistant stretch nylon in key flex areas to protect the skin while you move through rope feeds and hand offs.

The glove features are designed for real world rope work: a reinforced carabiner hole in the cuff lets you clip the glove to your harness when not in use, and a neoprene cuff with Velcro closure keeps the glove in place during vigorous activity. The combination of leather and stretch panels provides a balanced mix of protection, grip, and flexibility as you work through a route or load a rope bag.

Key Benefits

• DOUBLE LEATHER WEAR ZONES: A reinforced double layer of leather protects the palm, fingertips, and thumb crotch for extended life during intensive use.
• PROTECTION AND GRIP: Heavy duty leather shields hands from rope friction, heat, and sharp edges while preserving a secure grip.
• BACKING PROTECTION AND FLEX: The back of the hand features abrasion resistant stretch nylon at the knuckles to cushion impact and sustain mobility.
• HARNESS ATTACHMENT: A reinforced carabiner hole in the cuff lets you clip gloves to your harness for easy access.
• SECURE FIT: The neoprene cuff and Velcro closure keep the glove firmly in place amid dynamic movements.

Fit, Comfort, and Real World Use

• FLEXIBLE YET TOUGH: The leather and stretch combination gives tactile feedback while standing up to rope contact and friction.
• PRECISION HANDLING: Leather fingertips and palm areas are designed for controlled rope feeding and clip adjustments.
• SECURE WEARABILITY: A snug neoprene cuff reduces slip at the wrist while remaining comfortable during extended sessions.

Materials and Construction

The CORDEX+ uses natural leather as the base, with a reinforced backing of abrasion resistant stretch nylon for movement and protection. The cuff is finished with neoprene and a Velcro strap for a reliable, adjustable fit. A dedicated carabiner hole adds harness compatibility for climbing workflows where glove management matters.
