These medium-weight belay/rappel gloves provide extra protection without compromising dexterity. The double-layer leather and padding protect your palm from heat during long rappels or lowers, while reinforced fingertips and high-wear areas ensure increased durability. The back is made of leather with abrasion-resistant stretch nylon at key flex points. A low-profile neoprene cuff with Velcro closure includes a reinforced carabiner hole for easy attachment to your harness.
