Customer Reviews Black Diamond HeavyWeight ScreenTap Gloves

These gloves do better if you are doing something active outdoors in the cold. The leather palm is sturdy and the touch screen feature works. The cuff of the glove is big enough to fit over my Apple Watch without being too tight. I'm thinking about getting a second pair!

Of all the gloves I've bought and tried on this season I wanted to like these the best. They're by far the most accurate when using my phone, with all five fingers compatible for touch. The leather palm has good grip while still looking not overly technical. They're very thin and flexible, which leads to their downfall. They just aren't warm enough. I felt most cold where the leather palm was. I suppose I should have gotten the hint from them being called "liners" but what's the point of capacitive material if you're just going to layer another glove on top? It would have to be so warm for these to make a difference that I wouldn't wear gloves at all.

I bought these because the description actually listed the temp range in which they should be worn (25°F to 40°F). Unfortunately, these gloves are useless. I wore them multiple times in 30 and 40 degrees C and my hands were frigid. In fact, my hands were warmer in my old fingerless gloves than in these. I kept hoping this was just a fluke, but after two weeks of very cold hands, I will be returning these. Also, the outside material is very slippery, so gripping anything is out of the question. There are pros to these gloves – they are thin and your hands remain dexterous in them. They look very nice. The fabric is soft, and the phone touchscreen feature works very well. They are just very bad at keeping your hands warm.
