Why We Like The Black Diamond Midweight Softshell Glove
When we're out ski touring, climbing, or hiking, the Black Diamond Midweight Softshell Glove delivers the protection and dexterity we need. Built with weather-resistant softshell fabric, these gloves fend off light moisture while staying breathable for high-output adventures. The full goat leather palm gives us a solid grip on trekking poles or climbing tools, and touchscreen-compatible fingers let us capture the moment without exposing our hands to the cold. Plus, the neoprene cuffs seal out the elements, making these gloves a go-to for mild but unpredictable conditions.

Almost great
Two key flaws: The hem on the wrist doesn't stretch, so they're difficult to get on, and after they are, it doesn't snug around your wrist to keep snow out. Also, the incut between the thumb and index finger could/should be deeper. Also, not sure on the durability of the softshell material. Otherwise, the insulation level is pretty good and it breaths well.

Seams ripped 2nd day out
I've had a few pairs of these gloves and love them, but quality has gone down hill and the seams came apart on both thumbs on my second day out.

Good glove for walking my dog
Bought these without knowing if they would be warm enough to walk my dog in -15°C. They were! Only lost 1 star because the fit is not perfect for my hands. I would prefer for them to be a tighter fit

I usually love BD gloves,
I usually love BD gloves, but not so much with these. The fit isn’t quite right.

Very nice quality the leather is so soft!
I got these for my wife for Christmas as nice driving gloves or for light activities out doors she is also a winter mountain biker. She wanted a glove with a slim fit for dexterity. She loves these.

Warm, but made for wide hands
Wore them for touring and they worked well for up and down, but they are cut wider than previous models. Finger length fits well. Will keep, but a women’s version for narrower hands would be nice

My everyday glove for winter and spring
Finally! One pair of gloves for the whole ski season. As an avalanche instructor and forecaster I'm constantly fiddling with gear and zippers and making notes in field books on tours and courses. This glove has proved to be the most versatile and warm in all conditions.

Difficult to get hands into when wet
These gloves are identical to the same style from a couple years ago, except there’s less insulation in them now. A problem that was not resolved is that the cuff is too tight, it’s difficult to get your hands in them when they’re moist or wet during weather.
