Black Diamond Guide Glove - REVIEW

    Black Diamond Guide Glove - REVIEWThere are plenty of gloves on the market for less than $100 but they typically do not include what we think are the three must haves:

    - Gore-Tex
    - leather palms
    - removable liners

    Enter the the Black Diamond Guide glove—beefy and warm in the coldest and wettest conditions. It's built for someone who asks a lot of their gloves and expects them to last. Thanks to the reinforced leather palms and the nylon, abrasion-resistant shell, the BD Guide glove is durable and built to last. The gloves, thanks to their ability to handle tools and work effectively in an ice/rock/snow environment, are best suited for backcountry skiing and mountaineering.
