Black Diamond Legend Glove - Men's
Finally!!

Finally a warm glove with dexterity. I have small hands so getting warmth usually drastically reduces my dexterity - not with these. I have never had a short glove always a gauntlet - but I'm totally psyched to get these out every time I need them. Their only downside is not having a removable liner, but I think that is what ultimately keeps their dexterity up while retaining their warmth; will just have to try not to sweet in them and bring a light pair when touring (usually do anyway). The fit is nearly perfect - the circumference to length of finger ratio is spot on. For me, only the pinky is a bit long. Nice closure (feels a bit stiff but I believe it will break in nicely). I can zip my jacket, adjust velcro, undo pack and boot buckles. Rip it up. The natural color is really nice.
