"I wore them while climbing Cotopaxi. I love the fit."
"I primarily use them as part of a layering system for mountaineering, and they serve that purpose well. I normally wear size large gloves, but sized down to a medium as a tighter fitting liner glove will stay put better when frequently removing the outer insulated/waterproof layer. They did well keeping my hands from freezing whenever I had to remove my outer glove to do something requiring more dexterity. Obviously, these aren't water repellant in the least, but they dry out well enough. I got them soaked in the rain on my approach to high camp on Shasta, but after letting them dry out for several hours, they were fine to wear for the summit push at 2 AM despite the humid air. I was pretty pleased with that. Construction seems solid. I associate BD with climbing gear and had doubts about their apparel, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. I had Mountain Hardwear liners before these, and they developed a tear around the cuff after a couple uses. I don't see that happening with these. That said, there is no pull loop, which is what seems to break first on gloves. I like to hang gloves from that loop with a carabiner when not in active use, but I suppose the added durability makes up for it as long as I don't lose one in the backcountry. Touchscreen compatibility is better than other gloves I've used. I'm not sure if they use a special fabric treatment to achieve this, and if so, whether it will fade over time, but right out of the box it allows me to do most things on my phone without taking the gloves off. Assuming they prove durable enough, I will buy again when I inevitably lose them out in the sticks."
"Ok, so my user case is a little different than most. I don't get cold, apart from my fingertips, which has had some frostnip in the past (from an other pair of gloves). So I bought these lightweight gloves together with the Black Diamond nylon waterproof mitts, to keep my fingers both dry and resistant to wind. My issue is water does run down my arms into my waterproof mitts, which then wet these lightweight screen tap liners. So the liners get a little cold when the water freezes higher up on the mountain. I trail run, so my body gets pretty warm, but my fingertips still get a little cold sometimes. These liners are good for temperatures above +4C, but not great below that. This is assuming you're wearing a very lightweight waterproof mitt over them. Photo is my setup, the waterproof mitts over the liners. One thing that is really good however, is these liners make it really easy to operate my phone without taking them off."
"Black Diamond has a great reputation for high quality products and I’m very satisfied with these lightweight gloves. I use them as liners with mittens on cold days in the mountains and stand alone gloves on those mornings when there is a slight chill in the air."
"These were exactly what I was looking for. Solid warmth for lightweight gloves and great dexterity"
"Using the Lightweight Screentap Liners as a base layer with mittens in cold conditions and alone in warmer conditions. Great dexterity, and they really do work well with screens."
"I'm a 6'0" guy, and the Large size is slightly tight, but not uncomfortable. Works well with screens."
"Use these for layering as part of my glove system. Thin allowing a good fit for the next set of gloves. These worked well on Denali!"
"These are lightweight and thin. They fit well into mittens without bunching up. I use them in very cold conditions when I still need some insulation on my hands when I take them out of the mittens."
"These are great and light weight without adding bulk."
