BD Crack gloves!

Just dropped onto the bd website that they now have crack climbing gloves?  Anyone try them yet?  Comparison to OR and ocun?

They certainly look interesting. I like the fuller coverage of the thumb area.

I'd be curious to see how it stacks. The price is competitive.

Colored white so haters can't tell if you're cheating or not from afar.

You gotta draw in tape lines and put baseball cards in your spokes.

Don't want to bring any unwanted attention from the purest.

Totally bonkers that they're making them in white.

I just ordered a pair, so we will see. I can climb 5.12 in the gym so this might get me into the 13’s!
Seriously though, I’ll try them out in jtree later this month and report back.

It's bonkers how sick it is. Now they just need to make stick clips that look like branches. 

Velcro strap doesn't look that burly. My pair of OR gloves wore through the strap.
At 3.50- 4 bucks a roll for good tape, what is the upper price you'll pay for gloves? 

The thumb cover and additional wrist coverage make these a pretty huge upgrade over the Ocuns if the rubber is thick enough. The OR ones are a bit too thin for my tastes. 

Looks nice with the thumb coverage but I'd prefer if the strap tucked away like on Ocuns.

It's so we can tell who's privileged and oppressive.

the velcro tab looks WAY too short. 

I like to use grey Meuller tape so people think i am climbing with duct tape. 

The Grivel will be available soon and it's with Vibram grip.

Nothing like getting your gloves resoled

My OR gloves wore through the strap, too, within too short of an interval to be reasonable. Bear in mind that all OR products come with a lifetime warranty. They sent me a new pair right away and the new pair is tougher.

Along with above comment, I had similar issue with the Ocun gloves, but continue using them for months using tape in place of the strip. Extended the life, worked...pretty well, not perfect.
