Ocun Crack Gloves

The gloves are designed with a low-profile construction and high-sensitivity adhesive rubber, which minimizes bulk. While you will lose a tiny amount of tactile feedback compared to bare skin, most climbers find they retain enough sensitivity to place gear and feel the texture of the crack.

The fit is designed to be secure and snug. Because they are made from microfiber stretch suede, they conform well to the shape of your hand, which helps prevent the rotation that can be frustrating with DIY tape gloves.

Yes, they are specifically built for the abrasion of granite and sandstone. The combination of microfiber and adhesive rubber is rugged, though like any climbing gear, the lifespan will depend on how frequently you climb and the roughness of the rock.

You want a snug, second-skin fit. If the gloves are too loose, they will bunch up inside the crack and make jamming difficult; if they are too tight, they will restrict your hand movement. Consult the brand's size chart and measure your hand circumference at the knuckles for the most accurate match.

These are specialized tools designed almost exclusively for crack climbing. They are not intended for sport climbing, bouldering, or general belaying, as the rubber placement and glove design would be cumbersome and unnecessary for those activities.
