Black Diamond Waterproof Overmitts

Very nice, have been using these with Hestra Heli Ski Liner Mitt when cycling to work during winter. Not sure how will stand heavy duty use, but in cycling have lasted 4 years

I wear one size smaller than normal because I wear them as gloves on the Hestra mountains when snowboarding. So I don't use them as rain protection, but as gloves themselves. There are very few waterproof, durable gloves on the market with loose linings. These last me 1-2 seasons. The grip on the palm is enough to hold onto the anchor lift. The Hestra mountains dry quickly when they can be taken off separately from this shell glove. However, there is always some snow or sweat to dry.

Very waterproof and functional raincoat gloves. Personally used while cycling. Strong recommendation.

I bought mine second-hand, but they were in like-new condition. They are lightweight and waterproof (though the water-repellent coating does wear off over time), and there is plenty of room underneath to wear gloves for extra warmth in rainy weather. I can't yet comment on durability given the short time I've used them, but they offer good value for money. I’ve used them for rainy commutes by bike, and I’d rate their performance 4/5, mainly because they lack a dedicated "trigger finger" for the brake lever. However, a properly sized pair is flexible enough to allow braking while wearing them. It’s worth keeping this in mind when choosing a size for cycling, as an oversized mitten is clumsy, and excess fabric could snag on the end of the brake lever. The color scheme is certainly marketable, but since rainy weather often coincides with dusk or darkness, a brighter high-visibility color and/or reflectors would be a better choice for safety.
