Work gloves for rigging, rope handling and technical work

Our range of rigger gloves and rope gloves is designed for rigging, rope access, belaying, rappelling, loading and other technical work where hand protection and dexterity both matter. We stock gloves from Dirty Rigger, Petzl and PMI, with options ranging from lightweight fingerless gloves for maximum fingertip feel to full-finger styles for greater hand coverage.

Dirty Rigger gloves

Dirty Rigger's Comfort Fit range includes the Fingerless Work Gloves, Framer Gloves and full Gloves. These rigger gloves suit general rigging, loading and console operation, while the Framer style keeps the ring and little finger covered for additional protection compared with a fully fingerless design.

For smaller hands, Dirty Rigger's SlimFit range offers a closer, lighter fit across Fingerless, Framer Style and full Rigger versions, with sizes down to XXSM. For hot working conditions, the Venta-Cool Summer Rigger Gloves provide additional ventilation for improved airflow during long days in warm conditions.

Petzl rope gloves for belay and rappelling

The Petzl Cordex Gloves Plus are rope gloves built for belay gloves and rappelling gloves use, giving medium-weight protection while maintaining the dexterity needed to handle rope and hardware precisely.

PMI rope handling gloves

PMI offers several rope gloves for different types of rope handling work. The Lightweight Rappel Gloves are suited to general rope work where dexterity is important, while the Heavyweight Rappel Gloves provide additional protection for repeated or higher-friction rappelling use.

The Rope Tech Gloves and Black Rope Tech Gloves are designed for general rope access and rope handling work. The Fingerless Belay Gloves leave the fingertips exposed for greater feel when handling belay devices, while the Tactical Gloves offer a more general-purpose option.

Fingerless vs full-finger gloves

Fingerless gloves provide better fingertip dexterity when handling small hardware, rope and equipment, but leave the fingertips less protected. Full-finger gloves provide greater coverage across the hand while offering less direct tactile feel. The right style depends on the balance of dexterity and protection required for your work.

Choosing the right size

Sizes range from XXSM to XXL depending on the model. Dirty Rigger's SlimFit range extends down to XXSM for smaller hands, while other styles have different size ranges. Always check the individual product's available sizes before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fingerless gloves keep fingertip dexterity for handling small hardware, consoles and rope. Full-finger gloves give more complete hand protection but reduce fine tactile feel, so the choice depends on whether your task needs more dexterity or more coverage.
Lightweight rappel gloves prioritize dexterity and feel for general rope work. Heavyweight versions add more protection and durability, better suited to repeated or higher-friction rappel use.
SlimFit gloves give a closer, lighter fit designed for smaller hands, and go down to sizes like XXSM that standard fit ranges don't cover.
Ventilated gloves, like the Dirty Rigger Venta-Cool range, improve airflow to the hand, helping keep hands cooler and reducing sweat build-up during long shifts in hot conditions.
