Review on Small Black Diamond Patrol X Natural by Carl Lee

I took these gloves to climb through the snow on the North Star in March. These were better all round gloves than the Guide gloves which were a bit over the top. Sometimes it's necessary to clench your gloved hands to keep them warm (after you've removed the gloves and cooled them), but that's enough for most snow climbs. I love a soft band-aid on my thumb to wipe my nose in the cold.
