Layers need to be peeled apart, otherwise great

Layers need to be peeled apart, otherwise great
The leather and the rubber may be glued together at the opening. You need to carefully peel them apart so that the opening matches the stitched outline on the underside of the gloveIf you don't do this, your glove will be loose and you'll abrade your hand, like shown in the picture. Not hazardous, but I bought these gloves to avoid tearing up my hand!Once you get a good fit, they feel so solid in jams!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price

I've had these gloves for a while now and they've held up well so far. They've more than payed for themselves with the amount of tape I've saved, and are great for gym cracks which (at least in my experience) are quite a bit rougher on the hands than outdoor cracks. The way the velcro strap is covered is also great. I've found with other brands I end up wearing through the strap before the glove itself because it's not protected. As an added bonus it also helps to keep the velcro firmly in place so there's no chance of it accidentally coming undone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Favorite Crack Gloves
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023
Size: X-LargeVerified Purchase
These are absolutely our favorite crack climbing gloves. We've tried other brands (B.D., O.R., etc.) and these have definitely lasted the longest. The pad on the back of the knuckles is nice, most of the time. If the crack is a tight squeeze tape may be a better call, but that's pretty uncommon.

5.0 out of 5 stars They're good gloves
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019
Size: MediumVerified Purchase
These are the best crack gloves. They're way better than the OR ones which are really flimsy. The downside I suppose is that they're pretty thick so it will make thin-hands cracks hard to climb. Bring some tape if you're planning to go all "Coyne crack" with them.
Note - they fit small - if you have average male hands you probably want large.

Mediocre at best. On my 2021 F150 the rear flaps installed securely and easily however, the front flaps mounting holes don’t line up well but managed to stretch them on. Strong hands help. We’ll see how they hold up there, China.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019
Size: LargeVerified Purchase
Well made, highly functional. I always scoffed at rubber crack gloves, but I would now argue:

a) taping the backs of your hands is functionally similar to using this type of glove
b) it is much more eco-friendly to have a reusable pair of crack gloves than it is to use disposable tape with every session (or even every few sessions if you reuse your tape gloves).

When in doubt, select a larger size. My hands were on the bottom end of the large size, per the chart, and I bought the large, and they are really tight.

Besides all this, they just function really well. I appreciate the craftsmanship, and would recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Won't crack climb without these!
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020
Size: MediumVerified Purchase
I have been crack climbing with these twice a week for a few months at Vedauwoo in Wyoming, which has really rough granite, and there is no sign of wear on the gloves.

I have cracked climbed before without gloves, just tape, and I won't ever go back. Taping is such a waste, it takes time to tape up, and the tape never holds as well as I would like. I also love the extra grip and padding these gloves give me. My boyfriend also has a pair and he loves them as well, as do many other climbers that I have bumped into. I hear that the Black Diamond climbing gloves aren't durable at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and durable gloves for wide cracks
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020
Size: MediumVerified Purchase
These gloves are excellent for wide cracks. However I wouldn’t recommend them for thinner cracks. The rubber on the back of the hand is pretty thick and will prevent you from getting your hands in. For thinner cracks I currently use the OR splitter gloves. But for wide hand jams, fist jams, and off widths these gloves are fantastic. Highly recommend them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizing a little off
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
Size: SmallVerified Purchase
I love these gloves don’t get me wrong. I had a pair that got stolen so I reordered some! I couldn’t remember what my size was so I measured my hand and used the guide. I was right in the middle of the small so I went for it, they’re super tight and the Velcro barely wraps my whole wrist. All in all they still work amazing and I’m sure they’ll stretch out but I’d size up. I think I was originally a medium. All in all an amazing purchase I’m sure once I make my way through this pair I’ll buy another.

Should have bought these years ago. I thought I bought them too small at first. I followed their sizing chart and came out as a large. At first they seemed too tight, but they have stretched into my hands perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning to do the cracks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2018
Size: LargeVerified Purchase
So this year, after 10 years of climbing I decided I need to figure out how the hell to crack climb, After many (failed) attempts to tape up, usually resulting in the tape coming off half way up a climb and getting terrible rock-rash, I tried on some of these gloves and was sold. Your hands are a little bulkier so they don't fit in the same width cracks the same, but you get used to it and the jams feel way more bomber, with the rubber on your hands. It's like cheating (and it's way less painful)

Reviewed in Italy on November 1, 2019

Prodotto indispensabile per l'arrampicata in fessura, consegnato in condizioni perfette e nei tempi indicati all'atto dell'acquisto. Inaspettatamente molto elevate le spese di spedizione per questo articolo: io l'ho comprato solamente sfruttando un'offerta temporanea, per la taglia di mio interesse, che abbatteva notevolmente i costi di spedizione. Da quando ho cominciato a monitorare il prodotto ed i suoi costi a quando l'ho effettivamente acquistato, nell'attesa di un prezzo competitivo paragonabile a quello di negozio, sono trascorsi dei mesi.
