The Impulse is a high-end freeride glove built for those who love to rip. It's equipped with GORE-TEX® and PrimaLoft® Gold Cross Core insulation to keep you warm on stormy and deep days while maintaining dexterity.
Featuring a GORE-TEX® insert and PrimaLoft® Gold Cross Core insulation, the Impulse Gloves will keep you warm during storm laps and deep days without sacrificing dexterity and supple feel thanks to a durable goat leather construction with reinforced patches in high-wear areas. EVA padding on the back of hand and thumb add protection and our sleek and warm neoprene cuff wraps it up for a snug fit when charging.
Primaloft has ultra-fine fibers designed to trap warmth. This allows them to keep you comfortable and thermally-regulated no matter the activity, no matter the season.

"I am a mountain guide in the Adirondack Mountains in New York and often use the Impulse gloves on backcountry ski trips and at the resort. They are definitely warm enough and the fit and dexterity are great. I will echo some reviews which say that the cuff is tight. While this doesn't bother me, if it were me I would ditch the leash and add a fabric hook to aid in putting the gloves on. Otherwise solid gloves."
"Overall good quality and good looking glove. If you wear a watch, this is not the glove for you as the cuffs are long and make wearing a watch uncomfortable. Warmth is so so and I was expecting a bit more from them as I started getting cold hands at only -8°C"
"Gloves worked out great in Japans back country. Had some cold windy conditions at time and my hands never got cold. Glad i made the purchased"
"I’ve only worn them a few days, but they’ve been great so far! Very warm and a good fit. Good dexterity, and pretty easy on/off. I would definitely buy them again."
"I've worn BD ski gloves for years. They're awesome. My last pair of guise gloves lasted about 12 seasons before they needed replacing. When I looked at the latest options, the impulse seemed like a no-brainer. Goretex, Primaloft and Pertex? I had to look into these things! I figured they'd probably be bulky. But no! They're warm and somehow my dexterity is still great! I love these gloves."
"Perfect gloves for cold days where dexterity is still required."
"These gloves are incredibly warm and will keep your hands, nice and toasty in any weather. The leather is durable and looks great. These gloves fit very well and are very minimal even with a high degree of insulation."
"This is the warmest, toughest glove I have ever owned. On my 2nd pair. They hold up to everyday patrol work daily use. I recommend them to all of my patrol friends."
"I absolutely love these gloves. They have been the warmest, most waterproof, most bombproof snow gloves I’ve owned. They massively outperform a twice-as-expensive pair from the ‘archaeopteryx fossil’ brand."
"Perfection for backcountry skiing, inbound too. Very warm"
