Full details
The Black Diamond Crag Half-Finger Gloves are designed for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking enhanced grip, protection, and dexterity. They offer a durable synthetic leather palm and reinforced stress points for extended use, while the breathable stretch mesh back keeps hands cool. A key caveat is that they provide minimal insulation, making them less suitable for very cold conditions. Key features include a secure hook-and-loop closure and a practical pull-on/clip-in loop.

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Black Diamond Crag Half-Finger Gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and grip, offering minimal protection against moisture.
What is the CE certification EN 388 (2131) for?
The EN 388 certification relates to protective gloves against mechanical risks. The numbers (2131) indicate specific performance levels for abrasion resistance (2), blade cut resistance (1), tear strength (3), and puncture resistance (1).
How do I know my correct size?
Refer to the Black Diamond sizing chart, typically found on the product page or manufacturer's website. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.
Can I use these gloves for very cold weather climbing?
These gloves offer very limited insulation and are best suited for mild to warm conditions. For cold weather, consider insulated gloves.
What is the purpose of the clip-in loop?
The clip-in loop allows you to easily attach the gloves to your climbing harness or backpack using a carabiner, preventing them from getting lost.
How durable is the synthetic leather palm?
The synthetic leather palm is designed for durability and grip, with added reinforcement on the fingers and thumb crotch. However, with extremely heavy or abrasive use, wear is expected over time.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop cuff closure. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size based on the product's sizing chart.
Reduced grip after use
Clean the synthetic leather palm with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are fully dry before next use.
Seams appear to be fraying
Inspect the reinforced areas. If fraying is minor, it may not affect performance. For significant fraying on critical seams, consider replacement.
