For ski touring, ultra running and other aerobic alpine pursuits through variable terrain and changing conditions, the Black Diamond Wind Hood Softshell Gloves combine a stretchy, highly breathable softshell glove with a stowable, weather-resistant flap hood that quickly deploys when the weather turns south. The mitt-style Pertex Endurance wind hood is fixed on the thumb and easily rolls up and hides away in mild weather. PrimaLoft Gold insulation helps combat chilly alpine temps, and the patterned grip palm provides a firm grasp on poles and other essentials.
