Product Information

Full details

The Black Diamond Equipment Men's Legend GORE-TEX Gloves are designed for male skiers seeking robust protection and dexterity for intense, season-long use. Their primary benefit lies in the combination of waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® inserts with premium insulation for superior warmth and grip. A potential caveat for some users might be the glove's fit and closure system, which is tailored for a secure, beneath-the-cuff wear.

FAQs

What is the temperature rating for these gloves?

The temperature range for the Black Diamond Equipment Legend GORE-TEX Gloves is -17 to -1 °C (0 to 30 °F).

How do I clean the leather palm?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for leather gloves and follow its application instructions. Always air dry.

Can these gloves be machine washed or dried?

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane.

What is the primary insulation material?

The gloves use PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, with 170g on the back of the hand and 60g on the palm.

How does the cuff closure work?

It features a low-profile neoprene cuff that provides a warm and secure closure, designed to fit neatly beneath ski jacket sleeves.

Are these gloves suitable for both men and women?

This specific model is designed for men, indicated by the 'Men's' designation. However, Black Diamond Equipment may offer similar models for women.

What is the benefit of the 3D articulated patterning?

This feature provides a premium fit and pre-shaped fingers, enhancing dexterity and improving your on-snow grip.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

Ensure the GORE-TEX® insert is intact. Allow gloves to air dry completely. Avoid wearing gloves in temperatures significantly above the recommended range, which can cause sweat buildup.

Reduced dexterity or grip

Check for any internal bunching of the insulation. Ensure the 3D articulated pattern is aligned with your hand's natural position. Leather may need conditioning to regain suppleness.

Cuff closure is not secure

Adjust the neoprene cuff for a snug fit. Ensure no snow or debris is obstructing the closure. If the material is worn, consider replacement.

Leather feels stiff

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves to restore flexibility. Avoid over-drying the gloves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-weather performance.
  • High-quality insulation provides substantial warmth in cold temperatures.
  • Durable goat leather offers longevity and a good feel.
  • Articulated design enhances dexterity and grip on ski poles.
  • Secure and low-profile cuff integrates well with ski jackets.

Cons

  • May be too warm for mild conditions due to substantial insulation.
  • The secure closure might require adjustment for some wrist sizes.
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain its properties.
  • Fit is specifically designed for under-cuff wear, which may not suit all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear right out of the package. Ensure the wrist leash is properly secured if you choose to use it.

Compatibility: The low-profile neoprene cuff is designed to fit comfortably beneath the sleeves of most ski jackets. Ensure your jacket cuffs allow for this configuration for optimal performance.

Care: To maintain the glove's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry gloves away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a specialized leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions for application.
