Crack Climbing Glove combines grip, low profile, and flexible protection for crack climbing
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Forget fiddly tape gloves—these are durable, light, and thin enough for sensitive jams in all crack sizes. The white color stays cool in the sun, and they never slip mid-route or hold you back on tricky moves."
Crack Climbing Glove uses synthetic suede and a seamless rubber overlay to guard your knuckles without losing the tactile feel that’s crucial for tricky jams. The 3D anatomical fit contours to your hand for comfort and dexterity, and the ultra-thin Hypalon closure disappears under pressure. Cool and breathable, they’re as low-bulk as tape with way more longevity, making them a go-to for any climber facing splitter cracks or abrasive stone in the sun.

Here's what customers have to say
The product is generally well-received, with customers praising its thin, lightweight, and protective design that allows for good dexterity and grip. The gloves are described as comfortable and secure-fitting, effectively protecting the hands during use. However, some issues include sizing inconsistencies, with the gloves sometimes running small or tight, and concerns about the durability of the material, particularly around high-wear areas. Overall, the product is considered a good alternative to tape for the intended use, though improvements to sizing and reinforcement could be beneficial.

Favorite crack gloves
I wear size XS, they fit my hand like a glove and gives me some extra protection so I'm not bruising my hands against the rock.

LIght weight yet durable
These are thinner than other brands such as OCUN. so your hand can fit in smaller cracks. Performance wise, they stay in place and protect in all the extra places you wouldn't expect like thumb knuckles and sides.

sizing issues
i measured my fingers as it says from the bottom of the palm to the end of the finger and it came out i need size S but after getting them my fingers hardley fitted into the finger loops, after managing to put them on i couldnt make a fist because it was so tight. the gloves are awesome but the sizing chart is all wrong and you can't replace them after trying because you must open the bag .

Work as advertized
They do the job. Nice for a guy with older skin and on blood thinners to keep the back of the hands from getting totally chewed up when climbing crack.

low durability
I've only used my gloves on 10-12 pitches and the rubber started to peal off the back of the glove. Not happy with the durability. That being said, they felt amazing when they were still intact. . .

i fit into a size
i fit into a size medium/large nitrile medical glove & got an XL which fit me correctly. i think BD could benefit from having a size above that for folks with even bigger hands!

Smell the glove
Great glove with good coverage. Not bulky, pretty low profile once you’re in the crack. Been helping my crack habit as I focus my recovery from crimping.
