FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
The gloves are made of leather and offer basic protection from the elements, but they are not fully waterproof and may require a leather-safe water-repellent treatment for wet conditions.
Can I wash these gloves in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather. Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary and air dry away from heat.
Are these gloves suitable for extreme winter conditions?
While they offer protection, they are primarily for general outdoor use and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme sub-zero temperatures without a liner.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and consult the Black Diamond sizing chart.
What is the best way to store the gloves?
Store them in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after drying.
Apply a small amount of leather balm or conditioner to restore suppleness and work it in with your hands.
Gloves are losing grip performance.
Check the palm area for dirt buildup and clean with a damp cloth; if the surface is worn, consider a leather-safe grip treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Black Diamond Gloves, avoid soaking them in water. If they become damp, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can crack and shrink the leather. It is recommended to apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and ensure they are free of debris to prevent premature degradation. These gloves are compatible with standard climbing harnesses and trekking poles, offering a universal solution for most outdoor equipment setups.
