Black Diamond Guide Glove - Men's

Item #BLD1197 | 128 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Comfy! but lacking in features

By Ranked #918 - Ski Gloves December 16, 2008

The dexterity in the glove is great. The fitment is great... just the right fit where it's not too tight (I wear large). The gloves are very warm. The entire interior of the gloves remove making this a complete shell glove with removable liner. What's even cooler is the hook and loop attachment for the liner goes around the entire glove in a circle, making it compatible with old liners from other gloves! This lets me use thinner liners from old gloves for warmer days :-D That's the good. The bad: no idiot strap (c'mon, it's 2008), no back-of-the-hand pocket for warmers (not mandatory but it's nice), really cheap and stiff gauntlet closure cord and lock (I worry they'll break because you really have to pull hard on it to close it) that is difficult to close and open, and no wrist cinch strap (I prefer to have these).
