Black Diamond Prodigy Glove - Men's
not quite right

I love Black Diamond, but i feel like this is the first product of theirs that i've used that hasn't delivered. Bottom line: a glove this big needs to be really warm, and it isn't. If it was lower profile, with great dexterity, then sacrificing a little warmth would probably be worth it. I exchanged these for the Hestra Heli gloves, and those are probably the best combination of warmth / dexterity i've ever found in a gauntlet glove.
