| I was in REI yesterday, and happened upon their Petzl gloves. They are rock climbing/rapelling gloves. Anybody ever see/use them? They are like Mechanix, but serious high quality, and built hell for stout. Only 40 bones. Shoulda bought some, but figured I would ask first. |

Yes.
I've used the medium weight rappel/belay ones as fast rope gloves. They kick ass because you can come off the rope and go straight to guns without having to ditch big gloves, or look/feel like a total mook wearing some Rambo gloves over your shooter gloves. They're kinda stiff, and bulky (in the palms) but if fast roping is in your future they're worth it. Aside from that I like my Hatch SOG gloves better [edit] recently I've switched to The Metolius Grip Glove (after my Petzl's died). I like how they fit better, and they are less expensive |
| I've run carbine courses with those gloves and I love them. Plus, they don't stick out as tactical gloves. They suck for me with a pistol, though, since I have little baby girl sized hands. I have several pairs and break them in a bit by doing chores in them. Great gloves. And I have a lot of different gloves. |
