Black Diamond Tour Gloves

Proper Touring Glove

I've had access to the full lineup of BD gloves for years and this is the first first glove I've consistently been able to wear for an entire tour, up and down. Lightweight, great dexterity, and minimal insulation means the glove isn't too hot to wear while touring up and I'm able to mess with zippers, packs, bindings, skins, ect. without taking the gloves off. Compared to other softshell and liner gloves I've tried in the past, the leather construction and longer cuff means these hold up muc...h better to the wear and tear of ski edges, rock scrambling, digging pits, and ropes. Because touring involves getting your gloves in the snow, I baked mine with snow seal to add a bit more weather protection and pair them with the BD Waterproof Overmitts anytime I'm booting up steep snow. Best touring gloves I've found to date, I can't recommend them enough!

nice dexterity and soft inside

Nice dexterity and soft inside. The Velcro wrist lets the gloves fit under shells easily. I still wear a thin glove touring up, but my hands are always warm at a baseline. They are thick enough for the rest of my day if it is in the 20s and above.
