Gecko Grip Gloves

A pair of gloves with a microscopically textured palm surface that mimics the way a gecko's footpads grip, letting the wearer hold their own weight against a smooth vertical surface like glass or polished stone that would otherwise offer nothing to hold onto.

Their grip weakens noticeably on a dusty, wet, or textured surface, and matching boots or pads are usually needed to make full use of the technique.
