Petzl Cordex Plus gloves — protective work gloves for rope access and climbing, synthetic leather palms, reinforced fingertips

Petzl Cordex Plus gloves are protective work gloves designed for rope access, rescue operations and climbing. They combine abrasion-resistant synthetic leather on the palms with reinforced fingertips and a flexible fabric back to provide a balance of protection, dexterity and comfort during rope handling and equipment manipulation.

Advantages

These gloves offer a durable palm surface that resists wear during repeated contact with ropes and hardware while reinforced fingertips extend usable life in high-abrasion areas. The flexible, breathable back allows finger mobility and reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The design maintains tactile sensitivity for knot-tying and precise manipulation of carabiners and other climbing equipment.

Suitable for

• Rope access technicians and industrial rope work
• Rescue personnel performing rope or high-angle rescue
• Sport climbers and mountaineers requiring hand protection
• Maintenance workers handling ropes, pulleys and rigging

Key specifications

• Palm material: abrasion-resistant synthetic leather for improved durability
• Fingertips: reinforced panels to protect high-wear zones
• Back of hand: flexible, breathable fabric for comfort and ventilation
• Fit: cut and construction designed to preserve dexterity and tactile feedback
• Use: suitable for repeated rope handling and equipment manipulation

How to use

Choose the correct glove size to ensure a snug fit that preserves dexterity. Put the gloves on before handling ropes, anchors or hardware and check the fit and fingertip coverage. Use them for rope belaying, rappelling, knot-tying and equipment handling where protection from abrasion and improved grip are needed. Inspect gloves before and after each session for signs of excessive wear or damage and replace them when reinforcement or palm material is compromised.

Usage recommendations

For safety and longevity, avoid exposing the gloves to sharp edges, chemical solvents or prolonged moisture. Clean according to manufacturer guidance: remove loose dirt and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Store in a dry, ventilated place out of direct sunlight and inspect regularly for wear on palms and reinforced fingertips.
