Black Diamond Prodigy Glove - Men's

Item #BLD1073 | 54 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Ok so far.

By Ranked #350 - Ski Gloves August 28, 2008

I bought these BD's towards the end of the Colorado Springs winter season. Warmth and dexterity for these type of gloves are excellent, however I have used gloves quite abit over the years, so that in itself helps. For example, I can usually zip up my MH Sub Zero Parka with the smaller zip handle without removing the gloves, but not tie my shoes. I was looking for the best all around work/play/adventure glove around a $100 or so and decided to give these a try. I have not had the pleasure of doing much adventure or playing with these gloves, but I have done plenty of work. Snow shoveling, small tractor (snow blowing)driving my drive way, loading large landscaping stones and other work on my 5 plus acres in fairly cold conditions, with high winds and a couple of white outs. The gloves have held up nicely thus far, however I have not been able to truely test these gloves in what I would consider extreme conditions. So I will reserve the 5th star if they hold up under such conditions. The other glove I was going to try out was the Marmot Work Glove, which a couple of acquaintances been using with no complaints thus far. I need to also mention the gloves have been submerged a number of times in mud and water with no leaks or problems, so the water proofness is outstanding thus far. I hope to get at least a few years out of these gloves because I am very hard on all of my equipment. Since the Work Gloves are on sale for $39 I will probably buy a set and try them out at the same time.
