#BLACK DIAMOND MIDWEIGHT SCREENTAP FLEECE GLOVE HOW TO#
These gloves were provided by Ram Mountaineering for review purposes and can be purchased through Black Diamond, Mountain Mail Order, Drifters, Agear and Orca.Looking for winter gloves that keep your hands warm and dry and are made to last for years? As a professional gear reviewer who gets cold hands easily and spends many days outside in winter, from downhill, backcountry, and Nordic skiing to trail running, biking around town, and working outside, I’ve used many types of gloves and learned a lot over the years about how to select the right gloves for a variety of uses. Well priced, super comfortable, great touch sensitivity, ScreenTap tech and the perfect temp rating for most South African winter conditions… You can’t go wrong with these gloves.
I was totally comfortable in 2✬ while sitting around camp.Īs mentioned, I generally dislike gloves, but the Black Diamond Midweight ScreenTap gloves have made a convert out of me and my fingers are all the happier for it.
The indicated temperature rating of 0-4✬ is spot-on. As a result, more and more glove manufacturers are including conductive materials in strategic areas of the glove, like the pad of the index finger.īlack Diamond have taken it one step further by covering the entire palm and finger area with U|R Powered conductive material, allowing you to operate your phone with your palm (who uses their palm on their phone screen?!) and all your fingers – I found being able to use my thumb particularly “handy”. With most hikers having transitioned from paper maps to mapping apps on their phones, being able to operate your phone while hiking has become a necessity, rather than a luxury. I was able to comfortably operate my stove while sitting in the snow and watching the sunset, and it is for that very reason that they have become my go-to gloves when there’s any chance of things getting chilly. Opening a zip, or slightly adjusting my gas stove valve, can only be done by sight, because most gloves reduce the sensitivity of my hands to frustratingly useless levels. My dislike of gloves is for that very reason – my hands feel useless. This dislike often results in me waiting far too long before doing something about my chilled digits, at which time my fine motor skills have gone out the window and fingers are pretty useless. I found this helped quite a bit when having to reach for my gloves – if you find one, you find the other 👌 There are clip loops on each glove and it comes with a double-sided clip to keep the gloves together in your pack. The stretch fleece is fantastic at keeping its shape and assisting in a better fit, reducing the usual “bagginess” around the fingers and on the palm that a lot of gloves suffer from. Suede goat leather palm patches offer a secure grip on trekking poles and dog leashes. The glove consists of a warm, stretchy fleece shell, with U|R Powered conductive material covering the palm and fingers to allow for gloves-on touchscreen use. Recommended Temperature Range: 0-4✬ Construction
Materials: 222g-weight stretch fleece U|R Powered material Suede goat leather.
