Why We Like The Black Diamond Absolute Mitten
Negative temperatures and blizzard conditions have nothing on the Black Diamond Absolute Mitten. Packed with warmth to withstand the harshest conditions, the Absolute Mitten is a must-have for peak bagging some of the highest mountains in the world. The GORE-TEX insert ensures our hands stay warm and dry, and the heavy-weight, dual-layer Primaloft synthetic insulation packs on serious warmth for the coldest conditions. This mitten has a gauntlet closure for a simple and secure fit, and the abrasion-resistant four-way stretch shell fabric combined with the reinforced thumb ensures both dexterity and durability.

Insert isolates pointer finger
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I didn’t - and still don’t - see any mention of the fact that the insert isolates the pointer finger, meaning that there’s no skin-to-skin contact with the index finger and the rest, or the palm. Spent over $200 on mittens because I was sick of my fingers getting cold with gloves just to find out that only my pointer fingers will be. Lame. Regrettable purchase.
