or
- UNCOMPROMISED DURABILITY: Sometimes 'durable' gloves are bulky, stiff, and uncomfortable. With the Petzl CORDEX PLUS gloves, you don't have to compromise. The CORDEX PLUS features more leather in than our CORDEX glove, especially in the back of the glove and the palm. Soft, premium leather requires no break in period โ striking a perfect balance between dexterity and durability.
- PROTECTION WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST: A double layer of leather provides enhanced protection in high-traffic areas (fingertips, between thumb and forefinger) help prolong the CORDEX PLUS's lifespan. Extra padding in the palm of the glove helps prevent protect against heat generated during multiple rappels.
- EASE OF USE: Simple, yet durable velcrohook-and-loop closure. Carabiner hole for easy storage and/or racking. No break-in period. Easy on and off.
- EXTRA PADDING: Padding in the palm of the glove helps prevent protect against heat generated during multiple rappels.
- CARABINER HOLE: Wrist hole fits most carabiners for easy storage and/or racking on your harness or gear rack.

I have a time lapse video I'm editing, as well as two dyeing tutorials that I'll be posting to my YouTube when I have time, but this is the gist:
Tunic: Hemp/cotton jersey from Dharma; dyed with ECRU fiber reactive dye (although if I remake it, I will choose a more grey color - I spent WEEKS agonizing over what color her costume was). I used cotton gauze for the sleeves (I originally got this for the arm wraps, but changed my mind. Luckily, I had dyed both together so they were the same color) and went over the whole thing with sandpaper and dry brushed brown paint (the lighting in this picture kind of washes that out)
Pants: Raw Silk from Dharma; dyed with SAND DUNE acid dye (I ordered a different kind of silk to try as this one feels too nubby, but looks decent in pictures and is pretty comfortable otherwise)
Legwraps: Leftover Raw Silk - I hit the edges with fray glue which gave them a rugged appearance, but also made them insanely uncomfortable. After seeing the movie now, it doesn't even look like she used them!
Boots: From Pozu. Expensive, but worth it to me to not have to make shoes, and they're comfortable
Arm Wraps: Medical gauze; soaked for several hours in coffee/grinds; dry brushed with brown paint and the edges were seared with a soldering iron
Tabard Wrap: Viscose Silk/Rayon Blend from Dharma; dyed with SAND DUNE acid dye - twisted it into knots and left to air dry to create the wrinkles - I will probably iron out the bottoms a little so they aren't so tightly wrinkled later
Belts: Raw leather blanks from Tandy; dyed with OLD LEATHER shoe dye from this place (MY FAVORITE WEBSITE EVER BTW), touched up the edges with BLACK shoe dye, then went over the whole thing with the preparer to give it a worn look. Stretched and bent it several times to cause creases. Used the buckles from my Signal Satchel bag (not featured). Used twine for the details on the side. They were two separate pieces, so I used contact cement on the edges, then a piece of faux leather as backing to keep them together where they meet
Gloves: Pretzl gloves; removed the Pretzl wrap and dyed them with LEATHER, OLD LEATHER, and dry brushed BLACK shoe dye. Used preparer generously to create weather looked
Bracer: Two pieces of faux leather with black craft foam sandwiched inside (gave it a very nice seamed look). Contact cemented the leather sides to the craft foam and trimmed the edges. Cut the slots in and it was basically done. Painted the backside with LEATHER shoe dye to give the accent color
