Wild Country Crack Gloves M - High-Friction Crack Climbing Gloves, Black/Grey

On a long trad route, jamming your hands into a thin crack can quickly wear down your skin. The Wild Country Crack Gloves M are built for exactly that scenario: they give you a layer of high-friction rubber over the back of your hand and knuckles, so you can focus on the climb instead of the pain. The 2.2mm rubber palm and finger coverage provide maximum grip on rough rock, while the microfibre suede back keeps your hands cool and flexible.

Why choose it

The low-profile strap avoids snagging on rock features, and the Hypalon loops make them easy to pull off even when your hands are tired.
