Black Diamond Tour Glove - 2009 BCS

The softshell on these gloves with the nano coating is more waterproof than any other "waterproof" gloves I have ever had. My hands have short fingers, but are wide in the palm and these fit me perfect. They get a 4 for me because for $96 I wish they kept my hands just a little bit warmer.

These gloves are solid. the fit is amazing with good dex., they feel soo good to wear. they look great, and are very well made. the leather palm is very good, using high quality materials. i have been using these in temps from -5 to -14 degrees C, any higher and they become too warm. water resistance is average, could be better, and i wish they have a removable liner. going to get Hestra Heli glove next, ive tried the Heli, but these are a better fit i think. still, recommend.

I have quite poor circulation in my fingers and toes, so a long day skiing used to mean hourly cycles of freezing and re-thawing of my digits, extremely painful. I went through a herd of cheap gloves before my parents (thanks guys) gifted me these. These gloves have served me faithfully for 3 or 4 seasons now, and my fingers have never been happier. I don't know if my earlier model is made of the same material but i think it says a lot if my drawstring shock-cord is frayed and the exterior material is still untouched, quite dexterous as well. I love these gloves.
