Black Diamond  Mission GORE-TEX Gloves

I love these gloves. I am a ski patroller and need a warm and functional glove. The mission gloves provide the dexterity I need to manage a taboggan, ropes, and tools. I love the leather palms for gripping ropes and the Velcro wrist straps which keep the snow out and secure the glove easily under the cuff of my jacket. These gloves replaced a pair of BD gloves I used for nearly 6 years.

At 15-20 F and 30mph winds, my fingers and tips couldn’t stay warm and had gotten numb. I have small hands and normally XS can fit with other brands but this one felt rather big. However, I didn’t mind the fit as much and the gloves do work out in temps above 25F.

I measured my hand and picked the size (medium) that is recommended, but turned out clearly too small… I am sure the gloves are high quality and would serve me well, but now that they are a return I won’t get to enjoy them…

These gloves run small. I have large to extra large hands so I bought the large knowing that if they were too small they would be an excellent birthday gift for my wife. I’ll order the extra large & hope they fit.

Well made glove. Next size up too big. The finger length is perfect for me but way narrow. Creating colder fingers. Mine are are part of a non-return deal so insearch of a friend with bony fingers.

I do appreciate the two materials coming together in this glove for a great feel. Go one size up and you won’t be disappointed.

These gloves are warm, waterproof, but still dexterous enough to handle rope lines and finer tools without removing them!

A very thick glove, comfortable and warm, can cope with the coldest place.

sizing/fit great, finishing good, warm. doing its job well. recommended
