Medium weight belay/rappel gloves offer extra protection without sacrificing dexterity. Double-layered leather and padding protect the palm from heat generated during long rappels or lowers. Fingertips and other high-wear areas are reinforced for increased durability. The back is made of leather with abrasion resistant, stretch nylon at key flex areas. The low-profile neoprene cuff with a Velcro closure features a reinforced carabiner hole for attaching the gloves to your harness.
