I'm a mitten girl
Recently went on a backcountry trip in the tetons. I brought these and the stance mitts. I never needed to use the stance mittens. But I'm very glad I brought them. They pack down small. And if I did need them, they would have been there. The hybrid glove was perfect. I was rarely cold. And I only skinned up without gloves on for a little while. The fit is a bit tighter than the stance. But I'm also use to mittens... not a tight fitting glove. Overall, id buy these 10xs over. If you need a glove that is warm but breathable AND can convert to a Mitten for extra warmth, get them!
Clever design
My hands are almost always cold when ski touring. I routinely have to swap between thin and thick gloves depending on the temp, wind, and effort level. Not any more! At first I thought the little hood would not provide enough warmth because it is only a very thin layer of insulation, but it actually works! Now I can easily add or remove warmth without breaking stride on the skin track. I did have to learn to remove the hood before trying to grab small things like zippers or snacks because the pertex material is too smooth to get a grip on things. I also recommend sizing up. I chose XL and glad I did.
Versatility for endurance
Trail running, nordic skate, backcountry skiing are my main winter activities and I use these in most conditions from warm sunny to snowing. I appreciate the ability to peel back the mits when I'm pushing a high heart rate pace. The gloves fit snug and provide nice dexterity. They're incredibly light and remarkably warm for their stature. I have pushed their limits though, resort skiing in a nuking storm. After 4 hours of skiing and riding chairs the gloves were soaked and hands getting cold, of course not their intendedpurpose. I thought they ran small and had to exchange for an XL, which still have a good snug fit. Love these, will buy again, and would recommend for winter endurance activities.
Nice accent glove
I have been looking for a light weight back country accent glove for years. Finally this one fits the function. Hot too hot, and just warm enough that your hands don't get cold, and when it gets a little chilly you just pull out the over mit sleeve and your hands are warm again. Very functional and well thought out design. The fit is spot on to the sizing chart. Only downside is the mit fabric doesn't provide good grip. It would be nice to have a little pull tab on the mittens to make it easier to get them out of the storage pocket.
Another Win for BD gloves
BD keeps making gloves that do what I think they will. You may think that's trivial but among the glove makers in the world they seem to stand out. The Cirque has great felxibility and feel. Grip is great and I don't get bunching under the palm. These are super easy to use with a locking carabiner or a finicky zipper. Super impressed with the wear patch on the inside of the thumb and forefinger. Worn them 10 times already on varying tour lengths in the PNW. Gotta have a light glove with wind protection when you ski in the slop!
If only they had touchscreen fingers
A great glove. Unlike some others (Cirque and Softshell mitt) they have a cuff that covers your wrist. Add a nice mix of warmth, breathability and grip and they would be on my hands most of the time. Also great: cover for the thumb. So many convertible mitts leave the thumb bare. But, no touch screen capability. The whole idea with thin gloves is being able to keep them in all the time: that means dexterity and good touch screen capability for navigation and picture on a phone.
Super Touring Glove!
I used this glove on a recent week long backcountry hut skiing trip, and they were incredibly versatile for skinning and skiing. In temps between 10-20*F they were breathable and not so warm on the up that I was sweating, and the hooded glove was perfect for transitions and descending. The printed logo on the gloves wore off after one day of use, which doesn't affect its functionality at all. I appreciate the reflective print on the mitt.
Best glove ever
We love this glove so much. We use it for everything. When we bought we bought for an avy two day course in SLC. We wore the glove the whole time in January class because it was perfect for skinning and adding the puffy over when it got cold -was a good balance. Only suggestion to BD is to add a second nose wipe area to the 2nd finger. Wiping your nose with medial thenar causes one to lift the whole shoulder upward. :)
Nice thin glove with warm ‘hood’, but not touchscreen
These have a nice fit, with some articulation. The seams are a bit bulky, but otherwise nice. Great for touring, since they breathe well, but cut a bit of the wind. Then, if it gets colder, pull out the integrated mitten. Unlike most others, this one has a (little) bit of insulation. Much more useful this way. The cuff is a good length too. The biggest drawback, is the lack of touch screen function.
Excellent 3 season gloves
Marketed as lightweight ski mountaineering gloves, these are also a good choice for trail running in cold weather or surprise snow storms on a summer background trip. They are comfy in the 30’s especially with the wind hood. They breathe fairly well into the low 40’s without the wind hood, even on the skin track. They are not that warm below freezing, at least for long periods of time and/or the hardiest folks. They do not have any touch screen capability and the lack of wrist leash makes it a touch easier to lose them as my only minor gripes. However reasonable trade off for the weight. I also own a pair of the lightweight soft shell gloves from BD. The material is a bit thicker and the wrists are longer. Also the palms on these are sturdier. Similar dexterity. Overall though, really enjoy them. For true winter conditions I would recommend a true winter set of gloves as well though.
