Editing Fast-roping (section)

===Glove techniques===
Fast-ropers use heat-resistant [[glove]]s to protect their hands from the heat of friction while descending. Such gloves are generally not dextrous enough to be useful after the descent has been completed, though specialized gloves have been developed for this purpose. More often, a glove-inside-glove technique is used, with tactical gloves worn inside heavy leather metalworking gloves.  After descending the rope, the wearer removes the outer gloves to regain dexterity.<ref>{{cite tech report|number=AFRL-RH-WP-TR-2012-0098|title=Putting Lives on the Line: The Fast Rope Glove Challenge|last=Trew|first=Noel J.
