What we liked
- + Double layer of leather in high-wear areas (palm, fingers, thumb crotch) for extended life under intensive use
- + Abrasion-resistant stretch nylon over the knuckles protects the back of the hand while keeping it flexible
- + Neoprene cuff with Velcro closure and a reinforced carabiner hole for carrying the gloves on a harness
Trade-offs
- - The extra leather adds bulk and warmth, so it gives up some fingertip feel against the lighter standard Cordex
- - The most expensive pair in this guide, which is hard to justify for occasional gym belaying
