The elasticated stretch fabric used to make the Pfanner Stretchflex Fine Grip work gloves ensures a tighter fit for improved dexterity. The patented material also offers increased breathability over similar gloves in this category. Stretch-Flex Technology in the back of the hand is highly flexible, ensuring a perfect fit to hand, making these gloves ideal for tree work. Burling at the palm and fingers offers maximum grip and control when handling climbing and rigging lines. The nitrile foam coating on the palms of the Stretchflex Fine flakes off in small, sand-like pieces rather than peeling. Unlike Latex palmed gloves the nitrile flakes are small enough to incinerate without binding your friction hitch.
