Black Diamond Patrol Mitt - Women's

Item #BLD0904 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Warm but not a great cuff design.

By Ranked #603 - Mittens February 20, 2009

These mittens are warm (I always have cold hand issues), especially with a glove liner inside on super cold Colorado days, without being too poofy, so I'm happy there. My one big complaint, though, is design--there needs to be a gauntlet on the cuff so it's easier to get over the sleeves of my jacket and to really keep the snow out. As they are, they're too narrow to get over the sleeves, and too wide to easily get my sleeves over the glove. It makes it pain to take them on and off. I'm going to keep them, but I'm going to have a gauntlet put onto them, and an elastic wrist strap too. Both of those should be automatic in the design process! (Don't the BD designers test the fit of their gloves WITH a jacket???)
