Review on πŸ§— Petzl CORDEX PLUS Climbing Gloves: Supreme Comfort and Protection for Climbers by Deelo Sylvester

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks well built: Climbing

I bought these for work gloves. I ordered a medium size for other suggestions. I usually wear "Large Gloves" but some brands allow me to wear "Extra Large" which is always a bit frustrating when shopping for gloves. But I guess that's just part of life? So the environment fits REALLY cozy. Not enough to affect dexterity, and after you put them on and work with them for a while, I'm sure they'll loosen up. To look good. Although time will tell? The only real problem I have is that they are slick. I hadn't expected that at all. As I said, bought these as "work gloves" and using a wood pick to split firewood, I hit a particularly difficult spot in an oak tree trunk, stood on the top and the whole thing was able to spin in my hands thanks to the gloves like that be slippery I'm surprised they came like this, they're made for climbing, aren't they? Update August 2019 So I thought they would "stretch" a bit. and I bought them medium sized on the recommendation of other reviewers but I must have an odd hand size. I probably should have gone with the big ones. I have used them though, they were great for processing logs and firewood. The "smoothness" has decreased somewhat. The stitching and stuff seems to be holding up well so far. I try not to "abuse" gloves.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • No instructions
