Black Diamond

Super Light Mitten

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I take these on any trip where temps are going to plummet. They’re warm enough for high-altitude climbs but still pack down small enough to stash in my pack for emergencies. The sheepskin palm feels durable yet supple, and the GORE-TEX insert means I never worry about wet hands in snow or ice."

When we’re heading into the high alpine or bracing for midwinter’s coldest days, we trust the Black Diamond Super Light Mitts. Engineered for extreme warmth with minimal weight, these mitts are our go-to for long expeditions, frigid dawn patrols, and high-altitude pursuits where reliable protection is non-negotiable.

The Pertex Quantum shell and GORE-TEX with Gore warm technology seal out snow and wind, while PrimaLoft Kodenshi insulation traps heat without adding bulk. A sheepskin leather palm with Kevlar stitching provides confident grip on tools, ropes, or ski poles, and the compressible build makes these mitts easy to stash when the sun finally breaks through. With a removable wrist leash for added security, the Super Light Mitts give us peace of mind knowing our hands will stay warm, dry, and ready no matter how brutal the conditions get.
