Hestra Climbers Duratan Short - 5 Finger Gloves

Hardwearing half-finger glove for climbing in spring, summer and autumn. Made from a suede-like synthetic material that protects against friction during rope handling, while the backhand is made of weather-resistant polyamide. Perfect for both short and long climbing trips, and of course also ideal for via ferrata.

Climbers Duratan Short is a hardwearing, unlined half-finger glove for climbing in spring, summer and autumn. Developed in collaboration with climber and mountain guide Alexander Nordvall. Duratan synthetic suede provides an exceptionally hardwearing, firm grip, and has the advantage of withstanding considerable wetness without losing its shape. Reinforcement for extra strength, and a foam panel over the knuckles absorbs any minor impact. The backhand is made of flexible, weather-resistant polyamide fabric that wicks away moisture. Perforated ventilation holes on the fingers. The neoprene cuff is adjusted with Velcro, and an eyelet allows you to attach the glove to a climbing harness, for example. Also available with full-length fingers.
