Description of Black Diamond Ice Glove: |
As its name implies, the Black Diamond Ice Glove provides warmth and protection during ice climbs from Ouray to the Canadian Rockies. Dual-density foam pads prevent knuckle bashing when you're pumped and gunning for the top. The Ice Glove's Pittards leather palm gives you excellent grip on your tools and durability for long rappels. Black Diamond made these gloves with Schoeller softshell material for increased dexterity and a BDry waterproof breathable insert to keep your hands arid in the midst of a dripping lead.
Bottom Line: Protect your poor knuckles on your next ice climb with the Black Diamond Ice Gloves.

| Not worth the money! 02-21-07 |

| These gloves were plenty warm and fit well. But for a water proof glove they were far from it. Plus once they're wet they're hard to dry since they do not have a removable liner. So they are not worth the money. I think you can find a way better glove for that price. |

| very nice 12-02-08 |

| These gloves are very comfortable and warm. They also give fairly good dexterity for climbing and belaying. I have not had any trouble with them getting wet but I haven't used them in very wet conditions yet. They are a bit bulky but this hasn't interfered with my climbing at all. They also offer great protections for your hands. The sizing chart on backcountry seems to hold true, the glove feels small to wear but it is perfect when holding onto your tools. |

| Nice gloves 08-18-08 |
| Timothy Blum (15): |
| I have only tried these on so far as it's summer, but if I don't review a product right when I get the email reminder, I will never remember later. So, to start, I have been looking for a softshell gauntlet glove with the ability to actually hold tools, etc. and I think these are a great pair. They have some insulation but still keep the hands dexterous enough to manipulate whatever you are holding. Black Diamond gloves are all pretty well made in my experience and these seem to be as well with Schoeller and Pittards components. Nice-sized gauntlet (not too short for the task it's intended for but not so long that you think you are on an expedition to Everest). Most standard features of nicer gauntlet gloves such as elastic wrist, one-handed cinch pulls on gauntlet cuff. Also, the ice specific padding on the top of the hand will come in handy. Seems substantial but it is stretchy material so that it will not affect movement. Overall a very well designed softshell ice glove. Note about waterproofness-I'm not sure about the insert they use and I haven't used these in wet conditions- so I cannot comment on their waterproofness-but in my experience softshell gloves are pretty much never totally waterproof when soaked. Personally, I'm looking for more breathability with high-activity, which is what softshell construction is meant for, and what these gloves should provide very well. |
