There are two main reasons why gloves are a real essential for your climbing kit. When you are belaying a climber, having a light-weight glove allows you to safely pass the rope through your hands, and helps to avoid any rope burn should the climber fall on the rope.
Secondly, for big multi-pitch routes that require hours of rappelling, a pair of gloves can save your hands when handling the rope at a quick pace.
This week’s EpicTV Pick of the Week is the Petzl Cordex Light-Weight Belay & Rappel Gloves, and we're selling them for €33.99 at the EpicTV shop.
