I've been using crack gloves for a while and I like them - but for different reasons.

I just find tape really fiddly - it takes a while to get taped up and then if you only do one or two crack routes you pull it all off and start again.

Yes in theory you can remove and reapply but in practice that just ends up a sticky mess*.

I've been using an older leather-and-rubber* style of mitt (known by peers as "girly gloves") but they've ripped apart once or twice and are now held together with lots of stitching. Prompted by this thread, and having seen a pair in the wild recently, my new Ocuns are now on their way.
