Black Diamond Mercury Mitts

They are fully waterproof. The mittens feature a BD.dry insert that creates a complete barrier against moisture, ensuring your hands stay dry even in deep powder or wet snow conditions.

The removable 340g PrimaLoft Gold liner is a major advantage for multi-day trips. You can pull the liners out at the end of the day, which significantly speeds up drying time compared to fixed-liner mittens.

While they are heavily insulated for extreme cold, the fleece backing and articulated design offer better dexterity than most mittens in this warmth class. However, for fine motor tasks like handling small zippers, you will likely still need to slip your hand out.

The palms are made from goatskin leather and reinforced with Kevlar stitching, which is exceptionally tough. They are designed to withstand the abrasion of handling ski edges, ropes, and rough gear without tearing.

Yes, the four-way stretch gauntlet is designed to be oversized. It easily accommodates bulky jacket cuffs, allowing you to cinch it down securely to seal out snow and wind.

Most users find that the 340g PrimaLoft Gold insulation provides more than enough warmth for standard alpine conditions. Unless you are prone to extremely cold hands or are out in sub-zero temperatures for extended periods, extra warmers are generally unnecessary.
