Experience the balance of protection and precision

For climbers who value both protection and tactile control, the BLACK DIAMOND Crag Half-Finger Gloves are designed to keep your hands ready for action. Built around belaying and rope work, these gloves prioritize grip and dexterity without sacrificing comfort on rugged routes.

The back of the glove uses breathable stretch mesh to vent heat and sweat, helping you stay cool when the pace heats up on hot summer days or while negotiating exposed sections. The flexible mesh preserves full range of motion for intricate rope maneuvers and quick carabiner handling.

Durable palm and secure closure

The palm is reinforced with synthetic leather, delivering dependable durability and an enhanced grip on ropes, belay devices, and metal rungs. The palm and fingers are reinforced for longevity in repeated belays and rigging tasks.
