The brand KINETIXX has been producing technically innovative gloves since 2012. However, its history is even older. It began with the company W+R, founded in 1928, which became a glove factory in 1936. Since then, the company based in Metzingen, Germany has been making gloves for various fields TACTICAL, SPORTS, and WORK. With the X-Roar, we take a look at the tactical applications of the anatomical climbing and abseiling gloves that are suitable for both professionals and recreational athletes alike.

The abseiling and climbing glove X-Roar, made from synthetic fibers and leather, is available in international sizes XS to XXXL. Our size M corresponds to about size 8. The glove is certified according to CE EN 388, thus meeting high safety standards. Additionally, the X-Roar is touchscreen compatible. This facilitates the use of smartphones, GPS, or other devices while climbing without having to take off the gloves. 

The abrasion-resistant reinforcement of the palm made of goat leather makes the glove more durable and provides protection. The special memory foam dampens impacts and shocks in the palm area, thereby increasing comfort during every use.

Additionally, leather reinforcements are located at the thumb joint, fingertip, knuckles, and the first finger joint.

The optimal flexibility is ensured by the back of the hand made from elastic knitted fabric with silicone print.

A secure fastening and perfect fit at the wrist are guaranteed by the neoprene cuff with Velcro, ensuring that the glove stays firmly in place even in hectic situations. 

The glove also features eyelets that allow it to be easily attached to carabiners or loops.

“What works for children also works for soldiers,” writes Herman “Rosi” Rosenberg in his book “1000 Soldier Tips”. The book is available here in the SPARTANAT SHOP..

CONCLUSION

The X-Roar from KINETIXX TACTICAL has been developed as an abseiling and climbing glove. Specifically designed for abseiling operations, this five-finger glove combines robust protection with maximum comfort. The anatomical shape of the glove ensures an optimal fit and facilitates working with thin ropes. 

This glove is not only at home in this area but is also suitable as a robust operational glove for tactical missions such as combat missions, tactical deployments, and emergency services. It has proven its capabilities while driving a car, quad, or bicycle.

The X-Roar from KINETIXX TACTICAL is available in Black and Coyote colors in sizes XS to XXL directly from the manufacturer or from retailers carrying the brand, starting at 63 EUR.
