When you're in the zone of an OCR race, the last thing you need throwing off your game are injuries. Sure, they're inevitable now and then, but there's plenty you can do to prevent them, too. That's where OCR Slit Gloves come into play. They're specially designed for obstacle course training and races, not only featuring wrist protection, but a special slit that makes room for your watch or fitness band. As the official glove of Spartan Race, OCR Slit Gloves are designed to make the craziest of obstacle courses as safe as possible for one of your most important assets – your wrists. If there's climbing, lifting, pulling, or pushing to do, you need your wrists to be as tough as the rest of you. These gloves help make that happen thanks to the expandable, ribbed wrist-wrap design that protects without limiting your range of motion. The unique slit in the wrist wrap is an added bonus, giving you a comfortable way to wear your TomTom watch and a practical way of keeping it visible throughout the race. Then there's the grip. These Spartan gloves are made of the highest quality leather. So the wetter it is out there on the course, the tackier your grip is going to get. They won't stay soaked, though. As soon as you move into drier conditions, the minimalist design ensures a quicker dry (not to mention a streamlined fit). You know what you need out there – laser focus on the task at hand. Wrist injuries will do nothing but distract from that. OCR Slit Gloves not only make room for your watch or fitness band, but offer the wrist protection and grip you need to conquer the muddiest of obstacle course races. Up your game with this must-have item from the Spartan gear collection. The wetter the mud run conditions, the tackier the leather material gets for the ultimate grip When moving into drier conditions, gloves dry quickly thanks to open minimalist gloves design No bunching of material thanks to thumbless and compression fit
