PETZL CORDEX Plus Reinforced Belay/Rappel Gloves - Black, Small

Heavy-Duty protection for serious belaying and rappelling

When the situation calls for relentless durability, the PETZL CORDEX PLUS gloves are designed to stand up to heat, rope burn, and repeated friction. The feel is rugged yet responsive, with a composition that balances protection and dexterity for long sessions.

Key features blend reinforced construction and practical design. A double layer of leather covers high-wear zones palm, fingers, and the thumb crotch so you can focus on your rope work without worrying about premature wear. The back of the hand uses abrasion-resistant stretch leather with reinforced nylon at flex points to help you move confidently through complex maneuvers.

What this means in use

In long rappels or intensive belaying scenarios, the gloves deliver dependable grip and protection. The leather helps resist heat and rough edges, while the flexible back keeps your hand agile enough to handle rope devices, carabiners, and clips. The reinforced cuff ensures a secure fit as you transition from rope to release, harness to anchor, or pack to climb.

• MAXIMUM DURABILITY: Double leather reinforcement in palm, fingers, and thumb crotch for extended life during heavy use.
• PROTECTION & GRIP: Leather shields hands from rope heat and sharp edges while preserving a secure grip.
• REINFORCED BACKING: Abrasion-resistant stretch nylon at knuckles adds protection and flexibility.

Additionally, PETZL has included practical details to support real world climbing and rescue work. The glove cuff features a reinforced carabiner hole, designed to clip securely to a harness, saving you time and reducing the chance of misplacement during transitions. A neoprene cuff with Velcro closure keeps the glove snug, so you can keep working without readjusting your gear.

Fit, feel, and versatility

Despite the robust reinforcement, the CORDEX PLUS is crafted to preserve dexterity. The stretch leather on the back and the flex points means you can handle ropes, devices, and gear with precision. The glove is well suited for rescue tasks, heavy belaying, and repetitive rappelling where you need consistent protection and control. Choosing the right size ensures the intended fit and feel, enabling you to grip carabiners and rope tails without friction or looseness.
