Petzl Cordex Plus Belay/Rappel Gloves

The CORDEX PLUS uses a medium-weight construction that prioritizes durability in high-wear areas like the palm and fingers while using flexible materials elsewhere. This allows you to handle ropes and manage belay devices with enough tactile sensitivity to feel the rope's movement.

Yes, they are specifically designed for that purpose. The padded palm helps dissipate the heat generated by friction during long descents, preventing the burning sensation that can occur with thinner gloves.

Each glove features an integrated carabiner hole on the cuff. You can clip them directly to your harness gear loops using a small carabiner, keeping them secure and out of the way when you aren't using them.

While they are certified for protection (EN 388 3123), they are engineered primarily for climbing and rope work. They are durable enough for frequent belaying and rappelling, but they may wear out faster if used for abrasive industrial tasks like hauling heavy construction materials.

These gloves are designed for a hand circumference of 9 inches. Measure around the widest part of your palm, excluding your thumb, to ensure a proper fit; if your hand is significantly larger or smaller, you may want to consider a different size to maintain the necessary dexterity.
