Guide Lt Gloves

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been wearing the Guide LT Gloves on patrol days where I need to go from digging a pit to cooking lunch to roping off a cliff band, and they handle all of it without missing a beat. The Darted Gunn Cut construction gives noticeably better finger articulation than most leather gloves at this weight, and the GORE-TEX insert has kept my hands completely dry through some genuinely miserable weather."

Long days in the mountains ask a lot from a glove, and the Black Diamond Guide LT Gloves were built with exactly that demand in mind. Whether the morning starts with a rope setup, a weather observation, or breaking down a snow pit, the full goatskin shell holds up to the kind of repeated abuse that wears out lesser gloves in a single season. Reinforced patches in high-wear zones extend that durability even further, while the Darted Gunn Cut construction improves finger articulation so dexterity never becomes a compromise.

Inside, a GORE-TEX insert delivers fully waterproof and breathable protection, and 100g of PrimaLoft Gold CrossCore on the backhand paired with a Y-Warm palm keeps hands genuinely warm through cold mornings and wind-exposed ridgelines. A 165g recycled fleece lining adds comfort without bulk, and the work glove style cuff with over-cuff fit means they layer cleanly with any jacket sleeve. An engineered webbing pull loop and carabiner loop make clipping off easy between tasks, and the included Nikwax treatment helps keep the leather in top condition from the first day of the season to the last.
