Midweight Softshell Gloves

The gloves I didn't realize I needed

I love these. I try to bring contingent items when hiking in the mountains as I have to deal with Renauds, but this helps me reduce the amount of handwear to bring with me.

The cuff is a little bit tight, struggle to get my hands into them and the fingers are definitely a bit too long providing for poor dexterity. Other than that the gloves are warm enough for sure and the goat leather palm gives excellent durability

Great Dexterity for Active Cold-Weather Use

The Black Diamond Midweight Softshell Gloves have become my go-to gloves for hiking, climbing, and general outdoor use in cool to cold conditions. They provide an excellent balance of warmth, breathability, and dexterity, making them ideal for activities where you’re constantly moving and using your hands. The softshell material does a great job blocking wind and shedding light moisture, while still allowing enough breathability to prevent overheating during high-output activities. The fit is comfortable and close to the hand, making it easy to handle trekking poles, climbing gear, zippers, and other equipment without constantly removing the gloves. I especially appreciate the touchscreen-compatible fingertips, which make it easy to check a phone or GPS without exposing my hands to the cold. While they aren’t intended for extreme winter conditions, they excel as a versatile glove for hiking, trail running, shoulder-season adventures, and active use in the mountains. Overall, these gloves offer excellent comfort, dexterity, and weather protection, making them a dependable addition to any outdoor gear kit.
