Protect Your Hands - Better Gloves
DHG PowerGrab Gloves are the preferred canyoneering gloves of outdoors-persons plateau-wide. The grey, latex-based coating is sticky, but not too sticky, and pretty durable. Works pretty good on rappels (but this is not really a rappelling glove). Very good at protecting your hands from the rock, when doing scrapey/rough canyons. The Polyester/acrylic/cotton knit body of the glove is warm when dry, and not incredibly freezing when wet. Dries... uh, slowly.
Sizing: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large.
I'm not sure how well hands correlate with other measurements. But, I wear a Large, and my measurements are:
Length of middle (bird) finger: 3-3/8"
Width of hand at knuckles, not pressed down: 3-1/4"
Weight: 4.0 oz
Color: Yellow with Grey/Brown palms and fingers.

A Camera/Phone Case for Canyoneering
For waterproof cameras, a neoprene case to hold your equipment handy and protect it from bumps and bruises. A bit of mesh at the bottom of the back to let water drain out. The full length of the front is covered with Cordura - some 500d, some 1000d.
Of course, phones replaced waterproof cameras, and the PP is wonderful for keeping your phone handy during outdoor activities. Keep your phone out of the skanky canyon water, but for canyon action other than swims, waterfalls and jumps, it seems to work pretty well.
Note: many phones are now ‘waterproof’. This definitely does not make them ‘skanky-pothole-water-proof’. We advise against thinking so.
Sneak through canyons, amaze your friends!!!
The Leprechaun is a streamlined little number for slipping through those tight little squeezes in skinny slots as in North Wash.
We are sewn here in Utah using a tuned-up design and at a price roughly twice what the 2018 Shanghai ones went for. Such is life in 2025. Making them locally allows for better quality control. The revised zipper sewing is sleek - and more durable that before. These are the best Leps we have ever made!
