Split cowhide offers more finger protection and wear resistance, but a bit less dexterity than the lightweight model. Two extra layers of cowhide across the palm for durability.
Often copied, never equaled! Leave it to the rope experts to come up with the best gloves for ropework. Lightweight, pliable goatskin provides excellent finger dexterity while two extra layers of cowhide across the palm maximize protection where you need it most. Note: Goatskin fingers will wear much faster than cowhide; if you‘re a “finger pincher” instead of a “palm squeezer” rope technician, we suggest the Heavyweight models.
PMI‘s Rope Tech gloves are extremely versatile. They offer far better dexterity than PMI rappel gloves for tending a Z-rig or tying knots. 2 layers of goat skin and a 1 layer synthetic leather palm with spandex and air mesh for breathability. If your primary use will be for rappelling, we recommend PMI Lightweight or Heavyweight leather gloves.
