Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK: Reliable waterproof protection for gloves in wet, unpredictable conditions. This is one of our top picks for a dedicated outer shell mitt.

Black Diamond says: 

A simple, streamlined shell mitt designed to add waterproof protection to any other glove while belaying, dropping into your favorite pow shot, or waiting out an afternoon thunderstorm.

Our Verdict

The Black Diamond Waterproof Overmitts are a practical and versatile addition to any winter kit. They offer reliable weather protection in a streamlined shell design. They are sized generously to fit over insulating gloves and deliver an extra waterproofing layer without adding bulk. The BD.dry 3-layer fabric, combined with a DWR finish, keeps hands dry during wet belays or snowy descents, while the textured palm panels add durability and grip.

With pre-curved construction, these over mitts provide a comfortable, natural fit, reducing hand fatigue even when layered over bulkier gloves. Lightweight at just 95g for a medium pair, they pack easily into your bag and are ready to deploy when conditions demand—a valuable companion for anyone tackling unpredictable mountain weather.
