Fit Four OCR Slit Grip Gloves, Official Glove of OCR | Obstacle Course Racing & Mud Run Hand Protection | Wrist Support with Slit for Fitness Watch

First, the slit in the wrist wrap is genius! It is one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. I race in lots of Spartan and other OCR races. If you do as well you know that you and most racers probably wear a fitness tracking watch of some kind. The slit in the wrist is amazing cause you can still wear the watch and have wrist support.These gloves look killer as well. The red silicone on the palm, and the Spartan logos rock. The silicone has really good grip. If they get soaking wet and stay wet the silicone can become more slippery, however, just a quick wipe of the palms on my shirt or shorts dries them off.They are very well made, not junk like a lot of the products now days.I also own both of the other Fit Four Spartan Brand gloves, the OCR Neo Grip and OCR Slit Leather. Each pair has their advantages, but I wear all three on a weekly basis. See my reviews on those items too!

I use these while I'm doing crossfit, bootcamps, or OCRs and they're really solid with protecting your palms. Spartan Race tells you that these will not hold up indefinitely. You will need to get replacements, and this is true. I had to replace my first pair after the 6th race. Totally worth it, in my opinion. They help with grip, they don't retain moisture, they protect your hands from a variety of common OCR ailments (especially if you're at a course where your burpee penalties are in a dirt area filled with rocks). Overall a really good product.For the developers, I would like to make a suggestion. On some of my better cycling gloves they have a "lip" on the finger sections for you to get your gloves off easier. Integrating this in some way on these gloves would be super helpful.

Well constructed gloves. Made it through two hours of muddy water. Not sure if the grip was able to overcome the mud and water but did save a lot of wear and tear on my hands.

Love this gloves and I used to use them all the time but this last time one wear and there broken .One time use.

Love these gloves! I've run one Spartan race with them, and they held up very well. Only thing I would improve is that the elastic band seems like it'll start fraying soon being torn up by the velcro. I would recommend to the manufacturer a more robust material for the band!One quick tip for OCR racers: These gloves work amazingly well for obstacles involving ropes (i.e. rope climb, Herc Hoist, etc.), but are terrible for any of the hanging obstacles (i.e. Monkey bars, Multi-rig, twister, etc.)! Fortunately, the gloves are easy to pull off the fingers for these obstacles, and put back on afterwards. Not sure if that was a happy accident or good foresight in the design, but I'm grateful for that nice "feature"!

Spectacular - Four OCR races and there're still holding up - easy to wash - great to wear. Please note that there're very tight when bought. Not a Bad thing, but will take a little breaking in period. These gloves can be used for beginners or experienced obstacle course racing athletes. I am a professional trainer and not affiliated with this company in any way. Stay TrainerFit everyone. These gloves are highly recommended. Hope this helps in your decision. Good luck out there everyone!! Thank you Fit Four LLC

Love the split wrist gloves, they do fray quicker than I would expect. However, when I contacted Fit Four with my concerns, they sent a new pair (smaller size for me) and they fit much better and have been better on the fraying so far. They don't provide as much wrist support as normal gloves, but now at least I can keep my watch on! The smalls are quite small around the wrist also, I find that going over my watch I have to be careful of how tight I pull them, but the smalls fit my hands perfectly.

I give it one Star ,because I can't give it 0.The gloves are comfortable yes, but the velcro will only last one race, after the mud, water and such they barely stick together.I was very careful washing them by hand afterwards to see if they were just dirty, but that wasn't the case.The grip is not that great either, they are not as anti-slip as you might think from a product designed for mud races.They are kinda slippery actually.Very disappointed.Good things: they are light weight, protect your hands/wrist, and comfortable while they stick together.
