Petzl Gloves

[Lancstree]

Has anyone got or tried the petzl cordex belay/rappel gloves for general tree work? How are they for gripping in the wet? Saw the guy on 'The Land of the Jaguar' documentary using them to descend a waterfall.

I've sold a few pairs with no complaints yet, but that was only a couple of weeks ago so the verdict is still out.

not exactly the same but do seem popular for climbers of all sorts

Eh? Anyway not sure about fingerless gloves because I tend to get silky cuts when using them and suffer from cold hands anyway. Thinking for the winter to try some sealskinz ultra fit under some disposable sticky gloves for grip and see how that goes.

They are ok, but for the money they did not last long enough for me six or so weeks and I had wholes in finger tips (only used them climbing as well, anel like that), they died my hands black and then shades of blue for the first week and on the whole where overly hot to work in.

 

The holly grale of gloves,best so far I would reccomend the Urwin genarle constuction for climbing and there extreem condition for ground work, good anit vib and good in the wet. Or from the Range enginers gloves yellow back, black new buck palms for about £4 a copy of the old barco pruning gloves.
