UOG TOP PICK: Lightweight, weather-resistant, and well-designed, the Black Diamond Gridtech Storm Hood Gloves are ideal for adventurers needing versatile hand protection in changing environments.

Black Diamond says: 

The GridTech Storm Hood Gloves have multiple lines of defense against nasty weather. The grid fleece has a thermal function to keep hands warm, while the breathability and wicking functions keep sweat at bay. A stowable 3L waterproof/ breathable hood can be deployed in the event of heavy precipitation, or simply for added warmth. All gloves in the Distance series feature a comfortable cuff with a wristwatch opening and are touchscreen compatible.

Our Verdict

The Black Diamond Gridtech Storm Hood Gloves provide a unique solution to changeable weather on the trail. Made from grid fleece, these gloves offer thermal insulation while remaining breathable and moisture-wicking. The gloves feature a stowable, three-layer waterproof hood that can be deployed over the fingers for added warmth and protection in rain or snow, helping keep hands comfortable and dry. They’re lightweight and packable, at 58g for a medium pair, perfect for variable conditions.

The Gridtech Storm Hood Gloves’ touchscreen-compatible thumb, index fingers, and silicone-mapped palm for grip make them highly functional in wet conditions. Other practical details include a wristwatch opening, so you can still use your smartwatch with these gloves on, a soft nose wipe, and reflective elements for low-light visibility.
