Black Diamond "Mercury" Mittens Review

Post by PeteE »

We Have had some pretty cold weather for this part of Montana recently.
My hands tend to get cold easily as I found out last week skiing in Glacier Park.
Temps were around zero plus or minus and my heavy gloves simply didn't keep my hands warm.
So I did some research and decided to buy these Black Diamond "Mercury" mittens.
I found them to be just the thing I was looking for.

The BD Mercury mittens are "unisex".
However, they come in small sizes which will probably fit most women's hands.
