Ocun Crack Gloves

Rockshoes for your hands! Crack Gloves are fingerless rock shoe rubber-backed things for protecting the backs of your hands whilst hand-jamming.

They fix firmly in place with a system of clever velcro straps and are perfectly comfortable to wear.

They work well, particularly on on gritstone and granite cracks and will save taping up, and in our experience can knock a grade off an especially gnarly jamming crack!

• Anatomic shape.
• Made from microfibre stretch suede and highly sensitive adhesive rubber for maximum friction.
• Quick closure system.

Material: 60% Polyamide, 30% Synthetic rubber, 10% Polyester.

Weight: c 57g/pair.

Q. Are they cheating?

A. Well we don't see that they are much different from taping up, common practice in the States, especially at places like Yosemite. They certainly make jamming easier, especially cracks that are wider than your hands, ones with teeth or flared ones (where the rubber really comes in to play), but then so do rock shoes and chalk, not to mention having a runner overhead and an alert belayer - are these things cheating too? A good subject for on-going and endless discussion on UKC!!
