Crab Grab

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I pick the right Crab Grab mitten size?

  Measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) in centimeters and match it to the size chart: XS 14–16.5 cm, S 16.5–19 cm, M 19–21.5 cm, L 21.5–24 cm, XL 24–26.5 cm; youth sizes are smaller. Crab Grab gloves are unisex with Women’s cuts available for narrower hands, and it’s usually best to size up if you’re between sizes or plan to use liners.
• How does the Crab Trap traction pad compare to The Logo pad?

  The Crab Trap is an oversized, boot-catching pad inspired by Chesapeake Bay traps that gives a large surface area for landing and boot placement, while The Logo is a full-logo pad made from soft Dual C-Foam with Gripple coating for a lightweight yet aggressive bite. Crab Trap is ideal if you want maximum rear-foot contact and stabilization, whereas The Logo is a lower-profile option that excels at consistent, sticky grip on rails and top sheets.
• Which Crab Grab mittens are best for cold, wet days versus milder spring conditions?

  For cold, wet conditions choose models like the Snuggler Mitt, which pairs Primaloft insulation with a waterproof Hipora-style membrane and a cozy liner for full winter protection; the Punch Mitt is a padded mid-weight option for everyday cold-weather riding. For milder or high-output days pick breathable designs like the Freak Trigger mitt that balance waterproofing and ventilation to avoid overheating.
• How do Crab Grab traction pads attach to a snowboard and can I reposition them?

  Crab Grab pads use a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing—apply to a clean, dry top sheet and press firmly to ensure full contact; alignment before firm application is important because repositioning after full adhesion is difficult. If you need to remove them later, gentle heat and an adhesive remover help lift the pad and clean residue, but take care to follow top-sheet care recommendations for your board.
• Which Crab Grab gloves and pads are best for park riders versus freeride or all-mountain riders?

  Park riders often prefer low-profile, high-grip solutions like The Logo pad for sticky contact and a secure Punch Mitt or Punch White Snowboard Mittens for dexterity during grabs; Crab Trap suits riders who want extra rear-foot purchase for big stomp landings. Freeride and all-mountain riders typically pick Snuggler or Freak Trigger mitts with stronger waterproofing and insulation plus modest stomp pads for reliable traction in variable conditions.
