Scaling a sheer rock face on a via ferrata route demands absolute confidence in your gear. These Salewa Via Ferrata Gloves in Black Out, size XL, are built for climbers and mountaineers who need reliable hand protection without sacrificing dexterity. The back of the hand uses Salewa's Durastretch fabric—a 4-way stretch material that moves with you, while the synthetic leather palm delivers a secure grip on cables and rungs. Reinforced palms and knuckles shield against abrasion and impact, and the hook-and-loop wrist closure keeps them snug. Half-finger design leaves your fingertips free for tying knots and handling carabiners, with pull tabs for quick removal. Whether you're on a high-altitude via ferrata or a demanding climbing route, these gloves offer the durability and breathability to keep you focused on the ascent.
