What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put these mitts through storm cycles and long lift-access days, and they've never let me down. The GORE-TEX insert keeps my hands dry when the snow is heavy, and the PrimaLoft Gold insulation is warm without being bulky. I also love the secure cuff-it tucks cleanly under my jacket sleeve so I don't get snow creeping in."When temperatures plummet and the snow is dumping, we reach for the Black Diamond Progression Mitts. Designed with the brand's athlete team, these mitts bring freeride-ready performance to every mountain mission. Whether we're chasing storm laps at the resort or venturing into the backcountry for a powder-filled day, the Progression Mitts keep our hands reliably warm, dry, and protected. The 100% waterproof GORE-TEX insert is paired with PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core insulation to ensure dependable warmth in stormy conditions, while a full goat leather shell with reinforced high-wear zones withstands season after season of abuse. EVA padding on the knuckles and thumb adds impact protection, and the neoprene cuff creates a snug, under-the-sleeve fit that locks out snow. From cold chairlift rides to steep freeride lines, these mitts are built to perform when the mercury drops.
