Comfy and warm
"These gloves seem sturdy. They fit well and are warm. I appreciate that they came with water proofing goop to put on them."
Our go-to glove in milder temperatures for ice climbing, mixed routes and drytooling, the Terminator has climbing specific features, 4-way stretch and our highest level of dexterity with full waterproof protection for sending.
Featuring 40 gram Thinsulate® and a fixed fleece lining, this glove offers premium dexterity for hanging ice daggers and tenuous rock sections. The TPU knuckle patch protects against wear and an ice tool specific, pre-curved fit provides a secure grip. Our innovative "seamless pinky" construction, where we've removed the seam on the pommel side of the pinky, increases the level of comfort when hanging on your tool. The goat-leather palm adds durability while the 4-way stretch fabric and suede nosewipe keeps you comfortable. The Terminator also has a waterproof BD.dry™ insert for warmth and protection against wet ice.

"These gloves seem sturdy. They fit well and are warm. I appreciate that they came with water proofing goop to put on them."
"Warm and dexterous! Curved fingers and seamless pinky are great on the tool!"
"Recently bought these for some mountaineering and Ecuador. Ended up taking them on a test drive in Ouray Uce park as well. Could not recommend a better technical glove for climbing. Dexterity proved to be so good that I don’t think I removed them at all throughout the day. 10 out of 10 Balcj diamond. These are now my work horse for some major sends. Cheers! Sizing guide fits dead on. Go a size up if you want to wear liners."
"I use these for everyday winter use and they are great to use. Excellent grip and dexterity means no taking them off for different outdoor tasks and warm enough for most winter temperatures."
"Like the feel and fit, still waiting to use"
"These run small, so order +1. The cuff and thumb box were both tight but after using for a few days they now fit perfectly. I look forward to a little bit more break in, but already appreciate the dexterity and durability of these gloves."
"Thicker glove for ice leading but I love them for snow gully's and skiing. Amazing gloves, totally waterproof and bomber"
"The liner shrinks and grabs as soon as my hands get even slightly damp from perspiration - not just when the gloves are wet. Once that happens, they’re hard to remove and very hard to put back on. The narrow wrist opening doesn’t help and is uncomfortable if you wear a watch. Warmth is limited. My hands were freezing around -5 °C even when I was moving continuously. When I finally managed to take them off, the liner pulled out and I haven’t been able to push it back in properly since. Good dexterity, but in real use the moisture management and liner design make these frustrating for cold conditions. Not a glove I’d rely on when temps are below freezing or when hands tend to sweat."
"These gloves fit me tighter that large BD gloves have in the past - tighter around my hand and the fingers are a little shorter. They are a struggle to pull off, where I feel like I am going to pull the inside out."
"These gloves are everything I hoped for. Dextrous, comfortable, and great for staying active in most cold weather conditions. I own expedition mitts for extreme conditions, but these are my go-to ‘work horse’ gloves for splitboarding, snowshoeing, and mountaineering."
