⚡ At a Glance
- • Grip Performance: PU reinforcement plus an EVA rope channel for secure rope contact and abrasion resistance
- • Best for: Rappelling, rescue, adventure and utility work where rope handling is frequent
- • Not ideal for: Delicate precision tasks that require bare-finger sensitivity
Durable black synthetic leather forms the base layer with a protection rating of EN 388:2016-3131X. PU reinforcement and an EVA padded rope channel deliver improved grip and hand protection for rope work.
Confident rope control – with EVA padded rope channel
EVA padding forms a cushioned channel where the rope sits, increasing surface contact and helping distribute pressure across the palm. PU reinforcement around the contact area complements the channel for added friction and abrasion resistance.
Tighter rope contact gives more controlled rappelling and handling, reducing slippage during prolonged descents and repeated rope work.
Long-lasting protection – thanks to black synthetic leather and PU reinforcement
A synthetic leather base layer provides a durable surface engineered for abrasion resistance, while top-quality PU reinforcement strengthens high-wear zones. The stated protection rating is EN 388:2016-3131X.
Reinforced palms withstand rough surfaces and repetitive friction, extending usable life and protecting the hands during heavy-duty tasks.
Comfortable, secure fit – with breathable spandex, neoprene knuckle pad and elastic cuff with Velcro
Breathable spandex on the back permits airflow and flexibility while a neoprene knuckle pad adds impact protection. An elastic cuff with Velcro enables adjustable donning for a snug fit.
Flexible, ventilated materials reduce hand fatigue and keep the gloves secure during dynamic movements and extended use.
