"All of Black Diamond's gloves/mittens with this long black skirt are fantastic for people who hate having snow up the sleeve or playing around with their gloves and coat cuffs when putting on gloves/mittens. I'm taking mine off and putting them back on all the time I already owned the finger-glove version of these mittens, so I knew these would be a safe bet. I wanted something even warmer than the gloves, something that kept my fingers together. Somehow, these gloves perform well in warm winter temperatures (30 to 40 F) as well as cold winter temperatures (-50 to -20 F). I really don't understand how this is possible. They dry quickly, and the inner liner comes out for easy cleaning! One of the best purchases I've made for skiing in a long time :D"
"Well made. Needs to be a real cold day. Were too warm for the 30-40 degree days. I would buy a lighter weight for warmer ski days."
"I ordered these gloves a few weeks ago and put them to heavy use right away. I ordered a size up (XL) so I could wear baselayer gloves as well. So far they’ve even great with and without the baselayer gloves. Durable, warm, and dry."
"I really like the gloves . The only issue I have is there was a poorly repaired cut in the yellow leather palm . I paid for a premium product and I received a damaged pair of gloves. Other than that they look very durable and will last me a long time. They sure are a nice warm pair of mits . Peter K"
"These are the best ski/snow gloves I've ever owned. I pair them with a thin liner and a set of leashes. My hands stay warm and dry all day. The lobster claw design is an excellent compromise between warmth and mobility. Highly Recommended. I'm 6'2" 190lbs. Size XL fits good w room for liners."
"True to size, high quality, Gore-Tex gloves perfect for the unusual cold we’ve experirnced this north eastetn winter. The detachable liners are very warm and finally a gauntlet that fits, even when I’m wearing my garmin watch! You wont be disappointed!"
"I bought these for my dad who does ski patrol and they have kept his fingers warm and dry during this cold winter we’ve had. He is able to grab the things he needs for ski patrol with the pointer finger."
"I’ve had the guide gloves for years now. They are getting a little packed out but are very comfortable and warm. I needed something a little warmer though so I picked these up. Very comfortable. Very warm. I recommend sizing up though, especially if you are looking for warmth. The extra wiggle room is extra warm air for insulation. There is a little crease or fold in the liner fabric but I’m confident that will straighten out with use."
"These are 180 dollar gloves. That's a lot of money for some gloves. But these are the best. They are remarkably dexterous for the warmth and hopefully they are still durable. I'm just replacing a set after literally more than a decade and hundreds of days use and I only replaced them bc the insulation had finally packed out too much. But there's a catch 180 dollar gloves that don't come with idiot straps, come on BD!!!! an extra two cents worth of cord to make the perfect glove"
"fingers were still cold at times in verbier this feb and it was not crazy cold… cold wind made fingers cold…"
