Black Diamond Prodigy Glove - Men's
Solid glove, needs some tweaks
By Kendall Card

Like every glove from Black Diamond that I have owned this glove is super warm and built to last. I really like the fact that the gauntlet is shorter in length than an "elbow gauntlet" that other gloves have. My only beef with this glove and it was enough that I sold them to a friend is that the pull string and cinch on the gauntlet doesn't close tight enough to keep the snow/wind out. The placement of the gauntlet cinch and the fabric surrounding it bunch up and didn't perform to my expectations. It could be me and/or the jacket I wear but I'd like to see this re-done before I'll buy another pair of this particular BD glove. Good thing they make other models - I'm sold on BD!
