BLACK DIAMOND SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT SCREENTAP GLOVES SKIN

We found them to be surprisingly cozy, but we don’t expect them to keep your hands warm when the temperature starts dipping below zero. Although all of our testers noted their accuracy, the Workman Gloves have touchscreen capabilities only on the index finger.

These gloves also have ribbed cuffs to keep cold from reaching your fingertips. The plush, thick Workman gloves are the warmest pair we recommend, with an exterior of goatskin leather with wool trim and a lining of polyester faux fur. If you want a pair of fancy leather gloves that will keep you warm through the winter, the Canada Goose Workman Gloves are surprisingly accurate, given their thickness, and they still look stylish. Sizes: XS to XL Color: black Materials: fleece shell, goat leather palm The Black Diamond gloves’ stretchy material also means sizing is more forgiving than with some other gloves we tested, and the company offers more specific sizing than Moshi (XS to XL, rather than just S to L). Unless you’re going to be active, you may want to pair the Black Diamonds with an outer glove in extremely cold temperatures and in the snow. But these are designed to be liner gloves, so they’re not very warm on their own. (The difference in ease of typing between the Moshi Digits and the Black Diamond gloves was negligible, though.) The Black Diamond pair’s fleece material also blocks wind better than traditional knit fabrics (like that used in the Glider Gloves) and is water-repellent.

129 g Polartec® Power Grid fabric with grid fleece backing.

These midweight, quick-drying liners also feature suede leather palm patches for secure grip. Stretchy liners that provide efficient, highly breathble insulation under a shell glove or as a lightweight stand-alone, the Black Diamond MidWeight GridTech gloves feature a warm yet lightweight grid fleece that traps warmth in gridded channels without inhibiting breathability. Technical stretch-fleece liners designed to be worn under a shell or as a super lightweight stand-alone, the MidWeight GridTech gloves are highly compressible with a grid fleece interior and a high warmth-to-weight ratio. Here’s what Black Diamond writes of their MidWeight GridTech Gloves: Note: The black patches on the thumb and forefinger are nominally for touch-screen compatibility however, I have found them NOT to work and disavow that feature here. I’d imagine they’ll take me at least another 20F/10C degrees colder while running… but I tend to run warm, and they’re definitely running-weight gloves rather than Arctic-expedition warmth. So far, they’ve been great on runs as well as walking around outside down to 20F (-6C), which is the coldest I’ve encountered so far this mild autumn. I’ve worn these gloves a bunch since receiving a sample pair. Well, I did some digging, got enough pairs for me and about 100 iRunFar fans, and had the iRunFar logo sublimated on to each glove. I wanted a pair, but no luck as I wasn’t in the race. Closer inspection revealed a pair of Black Diamond fleece gloves (specifically Polartec Power Grid) that looked like the perfect weight for mildly-cold-to-cold runs. “Those gloves are exactly iRunFar color,” I thought to myself as I picked up a pair. Last July at Hardrock checkin, a pair of gloves instantly caught my eye.
