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.

Here's what customers have to say
The reviews for these climbing gloves are generally very positive, with many customers praising the thin, lightweight design that provides good hand protection without compromising dexterity. The gloves are described as comfortable, secure-fitting, and effective at protecting the hands during crack climbing. However, some common issues include sizing running small and concerns about durability, particularly in the thumb area. Overall, these seem to be high-quality gloves that offer a good balance of protection and dexterity, but users should pay close attention to sizing recommendations and handle the gloves gently.

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.

Light and Skin Tight
Excellent gloves that feel like tape or better! Nice thin material that fits snug against your skin. Only drawback is that you need to treat them with care as the finger loops can rip easier than other gloves. Also I find myself tapping the Velcro strap closed as it sometimes gets caught and opens while climbing.

Blood free jams
Feels like you are wearing nothing but when it comes time to really crank on a jam, your skin is protected. What else do you want?

Solid
Had a few pairs of these, definitely my favorite thin crack glove on the market. I do wish the thumb stitch was stronger as i've blown that up and had to resow it before.
