5.11 Rope K9 Gloves - Mantrailing use
The gloves are well made, they run slightly small but I believe that over time they will adapt well to my hands (or rather to my hand, since I only use the right hand glove). The Vibram rubber coating on the palm, however, is very rigid and closing your hand completely around the leather mantrailing leash is quite difficult, almost annoying. It would have been better to use a Kevlar reinforcement at the abrasion points. Furthermore, some points of contact with the leash are exposed, such as the middle part of the fingers. We'll see how long these otherwise good gloves last. I think they are better for fast rope rather than K9 use. The POWAIR6 service was good and delivery times to Italy were reasonable (1 week). The price was also good. Thanks! Andrea
