Made for the gnarliest of crack climbing, these climbing gloves provide necessary protection at the back-of-hand and knuckles where you would otherwise use tape. Outdoor Research has improved on previous versions of the Splitter Gloves with even more thumb coverage and added durability to areas more prone to wear and tear. This Splitters design still wraps a durable synthetic suede around your hand, layering on a knuckle-protective, non-slip synthetic leather, holding the gloves securely in place with finger loops and a wrist attachment. Say goodbye to tape forever.
