Black Diamond Punisher Glove

Black Diamond Punisher Glove description

The Black Diamond Punisher Ice Glove bridges the gap between ultralight and ultra-warm models to let you take on super-technical ice and mixed pitches in cold conditions. Their fleece lining keeps your hands warm without inhibiting the dexterity you need for technical moves and gear placements. The Punisher Ice Glove has a stretch Schoeller softshell with a BDry waterproof breathable membrane to give you excellent moisture protection. Black Diamond even added a tough Pittards Aromortan leather palm, because swinging tools, placing screws, and belaying can take a toll.

Bottom Line: When the going gets steep and weather gets cold, put your hands in the Black Diamond Punisher Ice Glove.

Just got for Xmas, but here's what I notice. I have severely beat-up Cloudveil Ice Flow gloves from the last 3+ years. Everywhere my old gloves are worn through, the BDs have the necessary reinforced padding/stitching. For instance, there is added padding to the top of the pinky where each of my old gloves ripped. Also the leather section between the thumb and forefinger covers a smaller area - which is good since on the old gloves it was too much. Really only needed where you squeeze the tool. No padding on the back of the 1st 2 fingers like Ice Flows - not needed.They fight slightly tight, but that is part of the dexterity plan. The leather goes over the finger from top-to-bottom, rather than side-to-side, creating a better smooth fingertip experience. When on, my hands literally rest with thumb and forefinger touching tips, perfect for the next screw. I even used the computer mouse fairly well with them on. Perfect for avoiding bulk but staying warm (I expect).
