The Outdoor Research Direct Route II Gloves are leather-palmed climbing gloves for belaying, abseiling and long days on the wall. A goat leather palm with cow split suede overlay takes the rope burn so your hands don't have to.

These are the gloves we'd hand to anyone doing a lot of belaying, multi-pitch abseils or via ferrata. Kevlar stitching resists wear at the high-friction seams, minimal fingertip seams keep them comfortable over long sessions, and the breathable 95% polyester / 5% spandex knit outer and cuff stop your hands stewing on hot crag days. A gusseted wrist with hook-and-loop closure gives a close, precise fit, and the carabiner clip loop lets you hang them off your harness between pitches. 119g.
