The warmest ever,but....

It's difficult to find gloves that are warm enough. Especially when it's 10 degrees and the wind is whipping. These gloves were almost too warm at times. I ride the divide in Colorado where it can get quite nasty. I recommend these gloves to all the ladies out there that get cold fast. The are a few downsides that could be easily addressed. There are no wrist leashes. For the hefty chunk of change you lay down for these gloves you should get a set like hestra provides for some of their models. I actually bought a pair of wrist cuffs from hestra for 8 dollars and attached then to the gloves and they work like a charm. Also, these gloves don't come with a mechanism to attach them together so you don't lose one of them when you are not wearing them. C'mon Black Diamond, you can do better than that. Also if you remove the liners, expect to burn some calories trying to get them back in there. I certainly hope this becomes easier after being used for a while but if you don't want to spend 10 minutes trying to get them back in then I recommend not removing them at all. They are toasty warm. Probably the warmest I've ever had and the fit is good. Too often the fingers in gloves are too long but not in this case. I have short fingers and wide hands. I wear the small size. All in all a darn good glove. Could do with some improvements though.
