Ocun Crack Pro Glove

Anyone try them? My friend gave me his clapped out BD gloves years ago and I'll use those with a little tape for wider cracks, but saw the Ocun's on sale and was wondering if it would be worth upgrading. I really like the thumb coverage, so I'm not really interested in other models.

I recently bought a pair and I think they are fantastic! I used em for a whole week in yosemite.  Instantly became the best crack cloves I've used. I've owned the regular ocus lites, and ORs gloves for reference. 

If you're on the in-between of sizes, go up. These are my first cheater gloves but they look better than other ones friends have.

 They are very well built, strap tucks under the rubber. Covers thumb well for fist jams.

Frank on the bot beat. You think the j is silent? 

Though, if they’re a nonnative English speaker, maybe they just sent it through translate, or had some kind of gen AI spit out an answer. Not quite an answer to my question though...

The "j" is pronounced "bot." :)

I love my Wide Boyz gloves. They are on the thicker side, which I like for the extra padding, but it can cause problems in thin cracks. Also, if you look up a photo of the gloves, you can see green stitching along the knuckles, and on mine which are about 8 months old and only moderately used, the stitching has worn away in a spot across my middle knuckles-- I don't know if this is going to cause a problem down the road or not. My thumb loops have also stretched out a bit. With that said, no real complaints.

Straight from reddit.

I've had the regular ones for a while and probably climbed 50+ pitches in them. They're pretty solid but the finger holes are barely hanging on by a thread at this point. Might snag the Pros since it looks like they fixed that. Plus, could use the extra thumb protection. Finger holes sounds strange...

I’ve put the pros through a few pitches at this point, definitely liking them. Seem more robust than the regular version, the padding feels like shoe rubber so definitely grippy but they pad nicely for sharp spots. Happy with my purchase for sure 

Any brick and mortars stocking these?

Strawberry Station near Lover's Leap has got em..

Rock n Resole in Boulder, CO has them, Jared.

Does anyone have their number? 

They're very burly but don't expect to be able to jam thin hands with them. Between the padding and the rubber they add quite a bit of thickness. I might razor blade out some of the extra padding. 

These are by far my favorite crack glove and since they removed the double back closure system they last forever. Mine are over a year in

Thanks for all the feedback. They seem like they have all the benefit of the sticky rubber from the regular ocun gloves with the added benefit of thumb pro a la the BD ones. If I can find some in my size I’d definitely like to snag a pair

I think Neptune might have them. 

I think the Ocun got it right with Pro version. 

They have the red backing like the Lite version which allows them to stretch for comfort.  Folded and stitched finger loops for comfort and durability. Stretchy velcro with simple rubber cover. No slot to tear! New thumb cover! They are thick but...

ClimbOn in Squamish also has them in stock. 

Personally I don’t like a rubber backing to a crack glove. I find it catches and sticks before I have the jam I want. A few seasons back I snagged a pair of G7s. Might be a a pricey option but they are VERY good. They have great fit, durability, and aren’t too bulky. YMMV but I think they are worth trying.

Climb On Equipment in Squamish has a full range of sample sizes for at least 6 models of crack gloves.  

I actually do not like the Ocun crack glove pro. I think the thumb covering is unnecessary. They did improve the strap by removing the loop which either wears out breaks.

they might just not fit my hand well but I prefer the version without thumb protection.

The thumb protection is completely unnecessary... except for the 1 out of 20 cracks when it's really super nice.

Adding the thumb coverage and eliminating the weak strap loop, made the Pros my favorite pair of crack gloves.
