The W+R Pluto is certified to EN388:2003 and EN407:2004, it is a tactical glove suitable for fast roping from helicopters and abseiling/rappelling during rescues from heights or depths. The inconvenience of having to wear a fast roping glove over a regular operations glove is now a thing of the past, as the Pluto can be worn throughout the entire operation for both abseiling/rappelling and shooting. 

 

Outside of glove

The back of the glove, cuff and back thumb areas are made from high quality Nomex for reduced piling and light-duty cut-resistance. A 3D one layer system on the outside of the glove is designed for professional abseiling/rappelling and fast roping when controlled abseiling, speed control and braking is required. The ergonomic design is adapted to the shape of the hand for easy hand flexing and a high level of tactility. 

 

Palm

The index finger and finger reinforcements which have a repellent action against burning liquids, are made from cut resistant Kevlar with a temperature resistant silicon carbide coating. The 3D palm design is based on Volcano technology which offers air cushions for thermal isolation and maximum grip to prevent the twisting of fingers.
