Fully waterproof for wearing alone in wet conditions, the Black Diamond MidWeight Waterproof gloves are ideal for ski touring or mountaineering. Waterproof hard-shell fabric on the back of hand is paired with a fixed waterproof BDry insert for total weather protection. We also added a touch of Prim aloft Gold insulation over the back of hand for added warmth when soggy conditions come with a drop in temperature. The full goat leather palm offers a secure grip on poles or tools, and the neoprene cuffs seal out the elements.
