    Description

    Rubber has been placed specifically on the glove to protect your skin, give friction in all jamming positions (from thin hand jams to hand stacks) yet shaped in such a way that it doesn’t compromise any movements that your hand makes when jamming.
     
    The finger loops have been designed for comfort & security, and the wrist strap is extended to give added protection against abrasion on deep jams.
     
    There is a thumb loop which gives protection and jamming friction for the lower thumb joint on fist jamming, teacup jams and stacking techniques.
     
    The palm and fingers of the glove are left free to ensure you have normal hand to rock friction on face holds.

    For full sizing information, please use the sizing chart which can be found in the product image gallery

      Weapons grade gloves

    6. Ida Robler (verified owner) –

      Ordered XS but still on the large side, especially in hand/wrist circumference. I’m an adult and know plenty of people with smaller hands than me. Havent had a change to climb in them yet though.

    7. Philip (verified owner) –

      Excellent product – better than the other two pairs of crack gloves I own in terms of functionality and the quality is high. Should last me a long time.

    8. Gus Layton (verified owner) –

      Materials feel quality, would rather the fingers/thumb loops had a little more stretch. The loops on the large gloves are a little too small for my fingers

      They look amazing. But I ordered based on the measurements suggested and they are a bit too small. Other than the fact I can’t use them without losing circulation, they seem like fantastic gloves!

      Please heed the instructions! Don’t force the finger loops! Take your time getting them on AND off! They will stretch to fit your fingers! I had trouble with one of the thumb loops, only because of my misshapen thumb. Once they stretch to fit, there’s nothing better than these gloves!

    38. Jeff (verified owner) –

      Pretty decent alround crack gloves. More allround protection and durability than the Ocun gloves, more padding than the BM gloves. The finger straps are a bit tight for the size (M) tho.

      Pretty happy with these gloves so far. They are thinner than the ocun gloves but thicker than the black diamonds. For sizing, I’m a small in ocun but xs in the wideboyz.

      Bomber! Fit, protection and grip best I’ve experienced. Only thing I noticed was the comparatively bulky Velcro wrist strap can ‘hang up’ in constriction jambs.

      So far I only tried these gloves only for one weekend. I tried some paddling, perfect hands and a small fist.

      Fancy box:
      They paid a lot of attention to details, they come in a beautiful box. Doesn’t do much for jamming, but it feels like you got yourself a present.

      Nice finger loops:
      The finger loops are in line with your fingers, so no extra cloth rubbing in between your fingers. Ocun for example has just holes in the cloth (just google it, you’ll see the difference. And you can feel that as well)
      I have pretty fat fingers (if you compare it to normal people, I still fit 4 fingers in 1 of Petes). Finger size in the size table would make it even better.

      Thumb protection:
      Another plus in comparison with the ocun gloves is the thumb protection. Fisting hurt less (If you are not on the receiving end) because your thumb doesn’t get so raw.

      Pinky side for fists:
      That is half protected in the small fists I tried. The palm side is still open. I had the same with the ocun and bd gloves. I will add a bit of tape next time I try a fist crack.

      Thickness of the gloves:
      I found that the Ocun and Decathlon gloves are a bit more padded. If you can see past the cloth in between your fingers these gloves a bit better if you do not enjoy pain. That said, crack climbing is dumb if you mind the pain.
      I enjoy the direct contact of these gloves more than these above. I think only the BD gloves are a bit thinner still.

      Stickiness:
      While I think the BD gloves and WB gloves look and feel pretty much the same I think the rubber of the WB gloves is a bit stickier. It feels a bit more like you only ad tape if you have these white gloves, and it helps a bit better if you use the black ones sold here.

      Would I buy again?
      Yes definitely.
      In the Netherlands the price of all the gloves I mentioned in this endless review are roughly the same. And my first impression is that this glove put all the good bits together. The sticky rubber of ocun and the nice fitting and thumb protection of Black Diamond.
      Also they just look better. It is just cool to put this on your hands.

    50. Matthew S. (verified owner) –

      At first I was surprised how tight the finger loops are (I did measure my hand), but I do enjoy the tight fit. My only general concern about the gloves is the stitching on the sides of the glove (pinky and pointer finger) seem a bit strained with the rubber wrapping around the hand. Hopefully this will last as long as the rest of the glove.

      I also enjoyed your tips on keeping the gloves lasting long I will try to keep the finger loops in as good of shape as I can keep them. I think these loops will last quite a bit longer than other gloves on the market.

      Anywho, really impressed with the quality on these gloves. I’ve used some old OR crack gloves from a friend and I’ve had multiple finger loops break on those, so I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve had with the Wide Boyz crack gloves. I love the comfort, and these gloves actually make fisting (no puns this time) actually enjoyable!

    51. Ben Hope (verified owner) –

      These things honestly feel like cheating every time you set a jam!
      I sized according the chart, and they’re a tight fit, but just like shoes I can see why that matters!

    57. Anonymous (verified owner) –

      Very nice gloves. Although they seem small in the beginning (especially around the fingers), they fit nicely after some use. Total price for me (gloves+shipping+import tax) was 50 euro a pair, which is maybe not really worth it compared to other brands. (although i do feel more psyched when having the WideBoyz logo on my gloves :p )
      After using one week in granite cracks, some of the green stitching at the side already came undone.

    58. Michael Greer (verified owner) –

      These are the best gloves I’ve used, but I’m giving them four stars because there are still a few places for improvement. The thumb loop is a bit long, and rubs against the crack for thin hands jams. But, it’s holding up really well despite that. Rope handling is a bit awkward with them on, and trimming up some areas of the pad would make this better. The finger loops are superb and feel very secure, if a bit hard to get on and off. The protective layer on the back is much more sensitive than other gloves I’ve used.

      Excellent! At first looked small when trying at home, but felt good when climbing. Tried in a 6b+ hand crack, friction and comfort was good. Only comment is having a strap to help gettting the thumb loop off.

      I have waited for a while for these to come back in stock. I was excited to finally order a pair. I followed the sizing chart on the website. Based on my hand size, I should fit the XS so that’s what I ordered. I am right in the middle of that size range and they should have been perfect. Unfortunately the sizing chart isn’t accurate. I should have ordered small, but by the time I got mine and went to re-order, the smalls were sold out. You might want to double check the sizing chart…

    98. Atrau Palin (verified owner) –

      Gloves feel amazing! Although I was concerned by the measurements saying I should order a small (being a male with hands I’d usually concider to be at least medium), I went with other comments recommendations to trust the size for stretching and I’m very happy I did! Thank you for a quality product Boyz!

    99. Nils Arne C. (verified owner) –

      You can truly feel that a lot of work has been put into the gloves and climbing in them feels like cheating. I can recommend them whole-heartedly!

      Really nice having the thumb grip. Ditched my ocun’s, now just use these and G7’s depending on the day/rock type.

    107. Anthony Marucci (verified owner) –

      Gloves feel pretty well made, have only used them a handful of times but I haven’t seen signs of wear unlike some of the other gloves I’ve tried. They seem to mold to the shape of my hand pretty well and the finger loops seem to help with that.
      The only downside to these is that it takes a bit of encouragement to get the loops on and off my fingers, as opposed to the larger finger loops other gloves seem to use. However, I think it’s a worthwhile trade off since the finger loops seem to be what makes these gloves stick to the shape of my hand so much better than other gloves.

    108. Emanuele R. (verified owner) –

      Not perfect. Can see some glue signs and defects but overall happy as they seem sturdy and as I was expecting them to be 🙂

      Very nice quality. Would only say that the size measurements on the website were off. It recommended me with a small/medium size, but I know that I have quite big hands relative to others so I checked with a mate who has a large pair and they were ideal.

      The gloves are unfortunately very cheaply made. There’s loose threading all over that I had to take off. Also there’s hard stitching on the knuckle joints and around the wrist that stab you while you climb which makes them very uncomfortable. The closure system is bulky/thick and takes up an unnecessary amount of room compared to my other gloves.
      Overall I was just expecting to see better build quality, but compared to my current gloves from BD these just feel really mass-produced and cheap.

    160. Maxime F. (verified owner) –

      The gloves are looking fine, not tested yet. The index finger loop of the right hand seems to be a bit tighter than the other fingers, but it still fits and feels good. I’ll test that soon! 😀 (Need to keep on reading the book first, though)

      The gloves have held up well after first month with semi regular use. I wouldn’t mind a wrist strap cover but a small loop of tape works fine to prevent it coming undone in tight cracks.

      These crack gloves are pretty sweet. I can only compare them to the Ocun, and OR gloves. They have the best coverage and protection by far out of the three. I would say the one minor downside is the rubber. It does not feel quite as sticky… but it is such a minor way I doubt most people would even notice. Overall a great crack glove. Would recommend them, especially for wider cracks or rock types that are especially harsh on your skin.
