Outdoor Research Splitter Gloves - Crack Climbing Protection (31g)

The Outdoor Research Splitter Gloves are crack climbing gloves that keep the skin on the backs of your hands where it belongs. Jam, torque and move with commitment on splitters and long jamming pitches without paying for it in gobies.

The design is simple and it works: a reinforced synthetic suede panel shields the back of the hand and knuckles, whilst the open palm construction leaves your feel for the rock untouched. Anti-slip material helps the glove bite in the crack, the hook-and-loop wrist closure keeps everything in place all day, and finger loops make them easy to peel off at the belay. At 31g they are light enough to live on your harness for the whole trip.
