The Outdoor Research Fossil Rock II Gloves are fingerless leather climbing gloves for belaying, abseiling and jugging. You keep bare fingertips for feel on the rope, gear and rock, whilst the goat leather palm protects everything else.

On long multi-pitch and big wall routes the fingerless design earns its keep: firm grip on the rope, full dexterity for clipping and fiddling with gear, and no rope burn across the palm. The goat leather has a cow split suede overlay for durability, Kevlar stitching keeps the seams intact, and the neoprene cuff is comfortable and flexible all day. A gusseted wrist with hook-and-loop closure gives a secure fit, and the low-profile pull loop and harness clip loop make them easy to get on and to stow between pitches. 99g.
