Petzl Cordex Plus

The Cordex Plus is a medium-weight glove designed specifically for intensive rope work. While the standard Cordex focuses on dexterity, the Plus version adds extra padding in the palm and reinforced leather layers to better protect your hands from the heat generated during long rappels and lowers.

Not at all. Despite the added protection, the Cordex Plus features an ergonomic cut and stretch nylon on the back of the hand, which maintains the dexterity needed for precise gear manipulation and knot tying.

No, you should not machine wash these gloves. Because they are constructed with high-quality goatskin leather, machine washing will cause the leather to dry out, crack, and lose its protective properties.

Each glove features an integrated carabiner hole at the cuff. This allows you to clip them directly to your harness gear loops so they stay secure and accessible during your climb.

While they are CE EN 388 certified for durability, they are primarily designed for climbing and mountaineering applications. If you are doing daily, high-volume industrial rope work, you may find that dedicated industrial-grade gloves offer a longer lifespan.

The cuff is designed to be low-profile, so it sits comfortably under most jacket sleeves without creating bulk. It secures with a simple Velcro closure, allowing you to adjust the fit so it stays tight against your wrist to keep debris out.
