What we liked
- + Goat skin leather, which the listing describes as a balance of durability and dexterity for handling rope and carabiners
- + Stretch nylon on the back of the hand for breathability and a close fit during long belays in warm weather
- + Low-profile neoprene cuff with Velcro closure, plus a reinforced carabiner hole for clipping the pair to a harness
Trade-offs
- - Single-layer leather: the double-layer reinforcement in high-wear areas is reserved for the Cordex Plus
- - Costs roughly twice as much as the synthetic Black Diamond Crag gloves, and this listing is for one size and color
