    Comments about Black Diamond Power Stretch Gloves:

    Gloves have a great fit and function like liners should but they didn't even made it through part of a winter season before the seams pulling apart. I am now looking for a glove that won't wear out quite so quickly.

      Comments about Black Diamond Power Stretch Gloves:

      These gloves have been great for the cold weather. They're warm without the bulk and are also a great driving glove (nice grip). I wouldn't recommend them if you're encountering a lot of precipitation or working in the snow but they've been great for everything except throwing snowballs.

        These are great in the cold, very warm, I can even write with them on. Some times I need to write with gloves on and these are the first ones I have found that allow me to hold a pen and be able to write. Very good grip. Will order again.

            Comments about Black Diamond Power Stretch Gloves:

            Super comfortable and stretchy, these gloves add a bit more warmth than the Under Armour Coldgear gloves. In very windy or cold temps or in wet conditions, you'll need a heavier glove or a shell, but these are great for a lot of 3-season conditions. The least expensive of the major Powerstretch gloves (e.g., Mtn. Hardwear, etc.)

            One anomaly: the thumbs seem abnormally long, even though the fingers fit exactly.

              This pair of gloves are well made. Polartec provide a excelent insulation. Also, it fits perfectly in my hands.

              Is a good choice because has a good grip and fits well.

              Buy it. Will be very useful in a sort of trips.

                Comments about Black Diamond Power Stretch Gloves:

                I love these. They're comfy and cozy. They breathe really well by themselves and I like to wear them as liners in colder conditions. The grippy palms are really nice too.
