Hey everyone its ivan hippodrome here to. Bring you another gear review and today we’re talking about gloves these guys right here these are the outdoor research backstop gloves about four. Years ago while under ployment overseas it’s trying to figure out some sort of gloves to eat my hands warm and there’s. No magical glove that’s going to keep your hands warm aside from like giant expedition mitts and it’s a non-starter because it’s need. To be operated weapon these definitely. Not the glove i want to be shooting pistol you can totally manipulate a rifle with them which works but it’s kind of that happy medium like yeah i could use a pistol if i need to with them could definitely use a rifle and do. A pretty good job keeping my hands warm especially when the winds blowing these. Backstop gloves are made of two different materials as you can see by the inside this brown material is there. Radiant fleece does a really good job of keeping you warm and then this black material is actually gore windstopper. Material so across the whole back side. Ie backstop you have this wind stopper. Material and on the inside you have the radiant fleece this is the older model. And as you can see these first two fingers thumb and across the palm you. Have this silicon material does a really. Good job of kind of creating that tacky feeling to grab a hold of things especially glass something that would otherwise slip if you’re trying to grab it with this pretty smooth fleece the. Newer which they sell now which is the. Sensor backstop as a sensor material little pad right here on your index. Finger as well as on your thumb for using any capacities screens like your. Smartphones stuff along those lines and then the new one also has a little bit. Of silicone up here on your three fingers rather than just these first two. One thing as far as a keeley’s heel. Right here there’s this little clip so. You can clip both of your gloves together keep them there and this is just like a little piece of leather you can see stretching out what invariably happens. Are you grab one of your gloves in your pack and you’re like oh perfect they’re connected start pulling it gets caught in this little piece of leather rips and. Then it’s worthless a nice workaround i. Would love to see is either 550 cord. Loop or even just this zone right here to where you have almost like a buttonhole that you could just punch a carabiner through and clip them together that way the newer ones also with your. Sensor backstop right across here you. Have a little bit of elastic help keep the cuffs closed and not let any wind. Through the cuff since i purchased these. Gloves they’ve done a great job for me even if you get your hands wet ideally. Just splash with water as opposed to submerged they’re still gonna keep that. Chill off your hands more than if you didn’t have any gloves they still do a fairly good job insulating even if they get damp and as. I mentioned dexterity wise you can still. Do a number of tasks like whether it’s manipulate zippers buckles on equipment. Or manipulating your rifle anything like that do a good job, and they’re keeping. Your hands not necessarily warm because. That’s starting with the core like keep your core warm and then your hands will probably stay warm but what they do with the wind stopper material is keep. That heat from getting ripped off your hands and that’s important another use i. Found for them living up in idaho up in. The panhandle is running in the winter. Running along trail it’s cold that wind. Keeps it from biting into your hands makes it much more enjoyable or even. Cruising around on a bike your hands they’re not moving and keeping the wind. From just biting straight into them they do a good job with that best place to pick these guys up is amazon you can. Find them depending on size-wise they’re black as well as kind of coyote tan and range anywhere from about 27 bucks. To about 39 bucks but good pair of. Gloves for kind of all-around just. Keeping your hands insulated especially in any type of windy conditions as always thanks for joining us to keep our calm look forward to seeing you next.

The back of the hand is going to have that wind stopper layer and it’s a highly breathable completely windproof liner and it’s highly watered resistant as well so that’s gonna line the back of. The hand where you’re gonna find that most of that wind is going to try to penetrate the materials but it’s gonna offer that really good protection and the palm of the glove is designed with the radiant fleece so that’s giving it. That really good breath ability while offering some nice comfortable warmth as well so you’ve got a really good combination of materials here that are.

Works just as well i can almost type as well with these on. As i can without them on almost i make. A few more mistakes I’ll be honest but that’s just because I’m not used to the size my finger isn’t usually this big. But i don’t know why i went to camera. It’s not real touchscreen stuff on the. Camera but they are great they fit. Really well they got this nice silicone on here they actually stick out quite a. But so it does give you a really good grip you see that so it’s like you’re.

Lightly extreme membrane and they as well have the black area on the back is a stretch panel for improved fit. They as well have pre-curved figures which you can see. This also gives a really good fit.

One of the features I really like is the tips of the fingers have a section of leather rolled over this means that is there’re no seams on the very ends of the fingers. So it makes it much easier to do things with the gloves pick things up. Things like that it also means that it is much more durable the tips of the fingers. There they’ve got a slot white on the thumb. They’re a decent size and the elastic script go around your wrist inside the glove. On the palm of the hand, they have a soft fleece lining. On the back of the hand, they have a deep pile line. In properties work well to keep you really warm. These are a really warm glove. The pile lining keeps you warm even if it’s soaking wet. I mean since I’ve used then I own had any water again but just from being too warm the sweat for my hands will make them a bit wet, but they’re still been super warm.

The reason they’ve used the thinner fleece on the pan is just for increased dexterity, so you haven’t got big gaps between your hand and whatever. It is you’re trying to hold it also the palm of your hands sweat a bit more than the rest of you or sweats more than the back of the hand so the lighter form of insulation there are looks well. As you can see I have a really good fit and clear just the cuff just 104 just to give a nice snug fit around it. These are a really good book I really do like this. For well anything wet and cold they are perfect tribal them just at the start. This year for winter and I’ve used them. For this winter I’m not too concerned. About the durability of them because. They are a really well-known really highly regarded gloves so I’m sure they’re going to last me a long time but I just thought yeah I’ve got some. Excellent features and if you’re looking for a winter weight grab the definitely worth look.

Technology is just like the name implies you know better for very warm conditions. The gore-tex active is also good for cold weather conditions but again the warm designation implies and shows that It’s ideal for very cool temperatures.
Let’s check out how the gloves compare against each other. For the marmot ultimate ski glove both extra-large gloves are coming in at it 257 grams that’s pretty close if not exactly. What their claimed weight is claims weight of 8.8 ounces 258 grams equals 9.1 ounces so that’s pretty much spot-on again to account for. The extra-large size compared to the large size that they have on the website so let’s see what the black diamonds weigh now black diamonds are quite a bit more they weigh in at 365 grams so over 100 grams more and for those who want to see it. An imperial twelve point eight ounces so if weight is a huge concern the black diamond. Patrol gloves are sorry the black diamond guide gloves are significantly heavier perhaps the biggest difference.

And one that might not be obvious at first glance is that the black diamond gloves come with a removable insert so this insert here is removable whereas the Marmot you cannot remove that insert. So I’m not really sure how that’s going to affect things over time. It might be nice to be able to remove the insert to wash it I guess but yeah that is the one major difference in terms of sizing.

You’re supposed to measure your hand. Like such here my hand size is 9 inches. So I ordered an extra large based on that measurements for from both manufacturers and it’s clear that the Black diamond glove does fit tighter than the Marmot. The extra large Black Diamond is nice and snug on me. I wouldn’t want it much snugger than that. So the extra large is pretty much the perfect size whereas the Marmot.
The extra large gives me a bit more room inside the glove. I could probably squeeze in a riding glove or another shell of a glove inside for very cold conditions. Now the Marmot gloves have these ripples in the knuckles that is supposed to add a little bit of dexterity.

You can as well see that a few other small differences. The Black Diamond Guide Glove has leather surrounding the entire thumb whereas the back of the thumb on the Marmot glove is cloth. Similarly, in between the fingers and the Black diamond glove is nylon cloth whereas on the Marmot it’s leather so. It’ll be interesting to see which wears out first based on the type of conditions I use these gloves for. I quite often find myself yanking on еhings pulling on rope helping people get out of stuck situations on their snow belt pulling on winch cable. So you no I’ve often seen my snow moves tear. Around the palms and in the finger between the fingers where i could grab onto things, so we’ll see which one stand. The test of time both gloves have adjustable draw cord cuffs that are both. Easy to use with your gloved hand it’s. Just a matter of pulling the one chord. To cinch them up and I’m pulling the. Other end of the cord to loosen them back up again same with the marmots. Slightly different style but just as. Good one cord cinch this them up the red. Cord releases it so my only hope now is. To actually get enough snow to put these gloves to use I’m not holding my breath. That’s for sure and doesn’t look like jasper’s either but I guess as soon as the snow goes away.

Merging a work-oriented glove with a ski. Specific glove marmot has created the. Basic ski glove with a durable. Construction and premium materials this. Is a great glove to take you right from chopping wood to the slopes let’s take a. Look at its features these gloves are. Constructed with fully leather materials. On the exterior so from the palm all the. Way until the back of the hand you’ve got just consistent leather so there’s. No synthetic materials that are gonna break down it’s just a nice durable and. Comfortable leather material it is water-resistant but it is not fully waterproof so keep that in mind when picking up these gloves we do also have. A glove clip on the exterior which is. Going to allow you to clip the gloves together so you can make sure that you hang onto both of them at all times you’ve also got a nice cinched cuff. There that’s gonna keep the fit nice on the bottom of the gloves there’s no velcro attachment or any you know adjustment like that but there is. That nice cinch around the cuff for comfort on the inside we do have a. Thermal or insulation so that will help keep your hands warm it is a synthetic insulation so even if it does get a little wet it’ll still maintain its thermal properties, and we do have a 3d. Dry clime wicking liner so that liner. Kind of lines the inside of the gloves and provides really good wicking power if your hands get a little warm or a little sweaty you’re working up somebody heat so nice materials inside the.

So we’ve got a whole new fit system here.
At the North Face called five dimensional fit, and we’ve borrowed what we’ve learned from footwear which is you’ve got to measure the interior volume of the glove and go outward from there when you’re adjusting for size, but we’ve got a whole new system for grading size of gloves. It’s called five-dimensional fits and it ensures that if you’re a large in a technical mountaineering glove like this you’ll be a large in a stretchy fleece glove for an entirely different end use, so we’ve also employed some pretty sophisticated.
New construction solutions one of them which is called radiometric articulation. Basically that mouthful means that we’ve. Cut the glove in such a way that you end up with that a nice natural curve built into the glove so that your hand isn’t fighting a flat glove to relax we’ve. Built our gloves with a warm warmer the warmest sensibility and you’ll see actually on the hang tags at retail. You’ll see snowflakes and now one snowflake is warm two snowflakes is warmer and three snowflakes is warmest as it needs to convey the message that out you know in the case of the kelvin here we’ve built it to be the warmest possible globe that we can build with 8 ounces of frame loft on the back of hand. And 4 ounces of primo loft on the front of hand this is as warm as we can build a mountaineering glove and still maintain the kind of dexterity that this users gonna need.
