Mountain Gear

Dripping ice, melting snow, and sharp-edged tools aren't a problem when you're wearing the waterproof, padded Specialist Gloves from Black Diamond. While you shield your hands from the elements with waterproof and breathable BDry membrane inserts, you protect your hands from impacts with an abrasion-resistant Schoeller shell and D30 padding that hardens upon impact. Specifications based on size Medium.

Features:

  • Climb ice in comfort without frigid, wet fingers thanks to BDry inserts; waterproof and breathable, they shed meltwater and allow your perspiration to evaporate from the interior
  • Grip tools easily with the Pittards palm patch and a preformed fit that allows your fingers to curve naturally
  • Keep your fingers warm and active in the PrimaLoft fleece insulation, down-like and warm, it compacts well so that you don't end up with astronaut fingers
  • Protect your hands from wayward tools and sharp ice with abrasion-resistant Schoeller fabric and D30 padding that hardens when impact but remains supple while you use it
