FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?
No, the Black Diamond Crag Half-Finger Gloves are designed for grip and dexterity in moderate conditions. Their half-finger design offers limited insulation and are not ideal for sub-freezing temperatures.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or the product packaging. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than climbing?
Yes, their grip and protection make them suitable for various outdoor activities such as via ferratas, some hiking, or general work requiring hand protection and dexterity.
How durable is the synthetic leather palm?
The synthetic leather is chosen for its durability and grip. While resistant to abrasion, prolonged and extreme friction, such as repeated dragging over rough rock, can eventually cause wear.
What do the CE certifications mean?
CE certifications EN 420 and EN 388 indicate that the gloves meet European standards for protective qualities, including dexterity, protection against mechanical risks like abrasion and cuts (rated 2131 in this case).
Can these gloves be washed in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to preserve their materials and shape.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels slippery
Ensure the synthetic leather palm is clean and dry. Remove any dirt or debris with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Velcro closure is not secure
Clean the Velcro hooks and loops to remove lint and dirt. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly when fastening.
Stitching is coming loose
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If stitching is significantly damaged, contact customer support.
