Why We Like The Black Diamond Impulse Glove
From backcountry excursions to chilly days at the resort, the Black Diamond Impulse Gloves are some of our favorite gloves for all types of riding. Featuring a GORE-TEX membrane and loaded with Primaloft synthetic insulation, the Impulse Gloves have us covered on the wettest and coldest days of the year. The under-cuff design conforms snugly to our wrist, and the hook-and-loop closure ensures the snow stays out. The super durable and grippy goat leather palm provides a good grip and durability, while the EVA padding on the back of the hand keeps our hands protected from impacts.

excited to try this as my main glove
as i look to replace an old burton mitten. i havent used them yet but im expecting great things. i took these over the Legend gloves eventhough the Legend fit better, these i think are rated for colder temperatures. i say i think bc BD has 2 different temp ratings for these. . . on the same web page! lol they say they are rated for 0-15F and then elsewhere on web page say -5-25F. they have heavier permaloft insulation than the Legend gloves and have more girth so im hoping these cover me down to the -5/0F area. we''ll see. my hands are 8. 6in lpong and 9. 2in circumference. i also review Dirt Bag, Tour, Legend gloves.

Warm and Cozy
Just finished a full day skiing with these gloves, and they’re super soft and comfortable, and just look great. I’ve never had good gloves in my 25 years of skiing, so I was very happy with how warm my hands stayed. Stoked to use these gloves for many years to come. Word of warning: don’t pull on the fastener; I definitely accidentally popped a stitch on first wear—it’s hard to pull them over my Apple Watch pro, but I’ll figure it out.

Super warm
Warm, comfy gloves. A bit too warm to wear for high output activities unless it’s colder than -10C.

Pretty darn good glove
I was looking for a warm glove that I could use for winter SAR missions that still allowed reasonable dexterity. This glove checks most of the marks. I think it will take some more use time for the dexterity part to break in, but the glove is warm. Had it out in temperatures in the mid teens and most of the hand was warm. The tips of my fingers were a little cold, but not overly so.

Wrist is Too Tight
I struggle to get my hand past the cuff. Good to keep snow out; but, I stress my thumb getting it into the glove. Do not use them too much. I wear a size 9 and these are Large.

Warm
Good fit. Warmer than the Spark gloves. And I’m able to get skins on and off. I’d buy these again.
