Black Diamond Crack Glove

Product description

BD set out with one goal: to create the best fitting, highest performance crack gloves on the market. Utilizing 3D patterning that gives an articulated fit, and featuring a synthetic Suede for maximum abrasion resistance and breathability, the BD Crack Gloves are swanky. The 0.6mm rubber adhesive film is set into a molded depression making a seamless surface transition from suede to rubber - resulting in the overall glove thickness of less than 1mm and which provides the perfect balance of protection, dexterity, and grip. The Hypalon strap provides a thin, lowprofile closure that's strong and secure for jamming, and the flat-stitched patterning reduces bulk and increases comfort. The BD Crack Gloves' white color reduces heat uptake during mega pitches in the desert sun, and also mimic the classic tape glove construction for superior fit.

User questions & answers

Question: I want to order the black diamond crag gloves in a women's small, but the Select Size menu doesn't specify if the sizes are women's or men's. Advise
Answer: I think they are men's. I ordered XS and typically wear a medium in women's. They are snug, but fit well.
Question: Would anyone recommend these for belaying
Answer: Absolutely. I like them better than leather as they seem a bit more breathable. The holes on the straps make them easy to clip to your harness as well.
Question: Are this waterproof? Would this work for ice climbing
Answer: I would not use it for ice climbing
Question: Do these make your hands sweat a lot in the summer
Answer: Definitely less than a leather glove would, as the back mesh (blue) has some breath-ability (not a ton but it helps). I rarely wear them for very long though, so I can't say I've ever noticed it as being that bad.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this glove good for climbing in summer alpine conditions? (climbing, not just rappelling or belaying). i need a glove for grand teton next week
Answer: I would NOT recommend that glove for the Grand Teton next week.
Question: I what I'm looking for is for a glove that protects my hand when I do the rope climb in crossfit, would these do the job
Answer: They should protect your hands when doing the rope climb during crossfit training. They have proven good for rappelling while being flexible enough grip the ropes securely.
Question: What is the size range for these gloves? As in, is xs for a small child size and xl for a large adult
Answer: Nicole, I am a 5'3' inch 103 lb woman with small hands. The small was really too large for me and so I needed the extra small. Sometimes I buy kids' clothing and I wear a 12 or 14 in boys or girls. Hope that helps.
Question: Do they help keep hands warm while climbing
Answer: The top part is mesh and breathable so I wouldn't use for extremely cold temps but I used them in the Swiss Alps when it was around 40-50 F and my hands stayed plenty warm. Hope that helps!
