Why We Like the Crack Climbing Glove

Black Diamond's Crack Climbing Glove gives greater protection when you're hand-jamming splitters and cracks whether it's in the desert or the alpine. Strong, breathable, synthetic suede leather in a 3D pattern provides a next-to-skin fit and crack-specific dexterity. Black Diamond instilled a rubber adhesive seamlessly to the back of the hand for greater protection and grip that doesn't interfere with dexterity or discomfort. Unlike the competition, Black Diamond's Crack Climbing Glove comes in a white color to reduce heat from the desert sun.

A+ pair of crack gloves for a beginner

I’ve not been crack climbing for very long, but I really like these so far. They’ve kept my hands much nicer and have quite good grip on the knuckles. I used them out in Indian Creek and had a great time.

Thin and mobile

I've used these for only about 20 pitches on Northern Colorado granite. They are nice and thin with little padding which I am a fan of. The fingers don't stretch a ton but do settle a little bit as you wear them throughout the day. The exposed velcro is my only issue. I find that this strap is stiff and digs into my wrist as I climb. I haven't yet had an issue with them coming undone from abrasion on the rock but I could see it happening in the future. Overall I really enjoy them mobility of these gloves and the thin padding. we will if the velcro softens up in the future.

Like tap gloves

First pair of these and love them, especially for thinner hand cracks. Had the Ocun’s before which I still use occasionally on wider hands as the rubber is thicker than these.

Near Perfect Crack Glove

The thumbs are done right on this glove. Easily repairable, long lasting and they fit well. My wife and I both prefer these over other options.

Good gloves

They offer thumb and wrist coverage where other brands don’t. Fit is true to size. Solid gloves for crack climbing.

Jamming

These gloves are the best I've tried. Thin but mighty! Still not quite a good as a good tape job but that is to be expected.

Feel great, durability is okay, runs small

I am a medium in all BD gloves, but the these definitely needed to be a large. Could get them on, but not get the wrist closure done up. Ended up giving them to a friend who loves them. Much thinner than Ocun, but surprisingly good protection.

Great gloves for doing crack

Love these. Ocuns are basically shoes for your feet, which are dope but I personally like something thin, protective and be able to feel the rock. This is a step up from tape. They feel great, thin, but protective and incredibly durable. After while, I forgot I’m even wearing them. So cozy. White is certainly an interesting choice given how dirty and grimey from sweat they get, but they’re chill. The sizing guide on the site is not helpful, sadly. I like the crag gloves from BD, these not only run small but the fit is so different. I have great palm and knuckle coverage based off the measurements, but my fingers are a little tight and i can just barely velcro on my wrist. I got a Small, and the crag gloves in a Small are fit perfect. These are way too tight. I asked my friends what size they had (and we all have about the same size hand and i’ve worn their gloves before) and theyre wearing Larges! So, definitely try these on in store and find a good fit, because the size guide for buying blind isn’t entirely accurate for how you want they to actually feel. other than than, bomber. love them

Great crack gloves

Ran a little tight on my fingers so had to size up but the RMA was easy!
