- Are the Black Diamond Guide Gloves warm enough for very cold ski days?
- Yes. They are among Black Diamond's warmest gloves, with a removable wool-blend liner and a waterproof insert. They suit single-digit and below-zero days better than most resort gloves.
- Can I wear the liner on its own?
- Yes. The liner is removable, so you can wear it alone for skinning or drying it separately after a wet day.
- How do they compare with the Black Diamond Mercury?
- The Guide is warmer and more weatherproof, with a leather palm and removable liner. The Mercury is lighter and more dexterous but less suited to deep cold.
- Do they run true to size?
- They fit close to standard glove sizing. Try them on with the liner in place, since the liner takes up room inside the shell.
- Are they good for mountaineering as well as skiing?
- Yes. The leather palm and reinforced fingers handle rope work, and the gauntlet cuff seals out snow on alpine routes.
