-A light-weight, durable all leather glove that sheds abuse with ease, and comfortable enough to wear all day.
The Accessory I Thought I Could Live Without
Having a pair of durable winter gloves that keeps you warm is essential, but they tend be unusable in warmer conditions because of their insulation. I picked up these gloves for the warmer days and have not been disappointed. This is my second Black Diamond review and I hope to acquire more of there products, and when I do I shall write more reviews.
The Pro's
- Durable
- 100% goat skin leather
- Light but warm for their size
- Leather pull tab to help get them on
The Con
- They aren't water proof
In Conclusion
This glove is a great all around glove when comfort and durability are musts. I have already decided to have another pair ordered when my first pair are on their way out. They are great in the cold of the morning before the heater kicks in, and they excel on the fair weather ski days. While retaining their warmth they are very dexterous allowing the wearer control over the small things, like operate a belay device without taking them off. With their under the cuff design they slide under any sleeve, they are the glove that I wear the most often in the winter. The only draw back is that they aren't water proof. I was digging out a snow cave and wasn't paying a attention, when I realized my hands were cold, the gloves were soaked. They took 3 days to dry, and the leather was hard and I feared that they might crack. I applied some leather food and they came out alright. Knowing that they wont do well with prolonged exposure to water, I just keep them dry and all's well. I Love These Gloves!!!!
Go, No Go
Go, go, go go go. If you are looking for a light weight winter glove that is durable and will last for seasons to come, this is that glove. This get a 10 out of 10, they aren't water proof but they never claimed to be. My first review with a 100%.
Well done Black Diamond.
