Cheap Petzl K52 CORDEX Lightweight Glove,Tan, Small Review

Although I do not climb or rappel, I am a little addicted to glove. Please see the comments of others if the climbing is what you thought.

My opinion is more oriented towards the "Average Joe" who, without being a climber, is looking for a glove that fits better than a glove traditional leather is still cheaper than say a glove tactics by Oakley .

Fit:
The glove fits perfectly. I am a medium / small size, usually, this means that medium-sized enterprises gloves are a bit large. Theconstruction of these gloves if the fit is great. Although there is some space (given the size of my hands), they fit better than other glove brands of the same size.

Feel:
These gloves feel good. For a leather glove is extremely comfortable feel. Not to mention the fact that you do not lose a lot of dexterity with these gloves. I test the dexterity of a glove by choosing one quarter of a flat surface. Although gloves and made a minor role in this test,which should not be regarded as a significant negative factor given to manufacturers of these gloves. However, compared to a glove traditional leather, the Petzl done plenty better. The quarter test is only useful purpose of the glove over the glove quality build. For me, this test is something of a stylistic analysis of the matrix.

Construction:
With all the gloves you have to be concerned about sewing. For example, I have a pair ofTac-Force gloves that I like because they are lightweight, but unfortunately, the seams begin to tear my index after 5 months of use. Considering that, these gloves are designed largely Petzl. I even beat my hand with a SOG seal pup elite last week and double leather palm prevented me decide.

Possible uses:
As mentioned above, I do not climb. However, I used this glove in the hand of other related scenarios that you can be involved in. I usedthem in the snow and I found them less satisfactory as regards the heat, but with a big shovel. Especially if you have an old wooden shovel broke. I have also use daily to bring the heat, germaphobia and offensive or defensive capabilities. Fortunately I did not have to protect myself with them, but as mentioned above, my fingers are quite mobile in the Petzl. It should be noted that I can deploy my SOG Flash I (blade realize every day) with adequate capacity in these gloves.Again, you negotiate a dexterity for protection, I'm not as quick to open my knife I'm with my gloves say Tac-Force. I also pulled my Sig dry with OK results, which is not bad (but not many) option for a glove-style tactics.

I also used these driving gloves. I highly recommend them for himself. The leather is nice when driving, depending on your wheel, because it allows you to slide the rear wheel with less resistance after making a turn.

This glove is not the best time to below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I realize that it is beyond the scope of the glove that has been done. I raise this point to inform people of its limits. The back of the glove is made of a fabric that does little to slow the wind or cold compared to something like, say, leather or neoprene same.

It should be obvious but it is probably worth mentioning that the smooth leather on this glove has been designed to allow the rope to slidethrough. other things, like soft tissues, also slide easily with these gloves. So, if the handle is something you are concerned, should not you handle your baby friends or something fragile and slippery with them.

Conclusion
For the price, these are great gloves. I was considering picking up another pair of tan and painted multicam in another project I'm working. I give these gloves 5 stars for the reasons above, including the Grand Prix Ipay for them ($ 25).
