Our take on the classic, all-leather work glove for those who need durable hand protection and nothing else, the Black Diamond Kingpin has a super-tough goat leather shell and fixed fleece lining for an ideal combination of protection and warmth in mild-weather, high-output situations. Designed for the purist, the mountain professional, and the dedicated adventurer, the Kingpin delivers uncompromising performance without unnecessary frills.Unmatched Durability for the Toughest TasksBuilt to withstand the rigors of the mountains, the Kingpin gloves are constructed with a full, exceptionally tough goat-leather shell. This robust material is renowned for its superior abrasion resistance and dexterity, allowing you to handle ropes, ice axes, and ski equipment with confidence. To further enhance its longevity, the glove features a reinforced goat-leather palm patch, providing extra protection in high-wear areas. Whether you´re setting a skin track, belaying a partner, or doing daily work at the resort, these gloves are engineered to endure season after season of hard use, developing a unique, personalized fit over time.Essential Warmth and ComfortInside the rugged leather exterior lies a fixed 190 g fleece lining, delivering a perfect dose of warmth for active pursuits in cool, but not frigid, conditions. This soft lining feels comfortable against the skin and helps to manage moisture during high-output activities like spring ski touring or vigorous hiking, keeping your hands dry and comfortable. The fleece provides just the right amount of insulation without the bulk, preserving the dexterity and tactile feedback essential for technical tasks.Functional, Minimalist DesignEvery feature of the Kingpin glove is designed with practical functionality in mind. The low-profile short cuff is designed to slide easily and cleanly under the sleeve of your jacket, eliminating bulk and preventing snow from getting in. This streamlined interface ensures maximum mobility at the wrist. For those cold, crisp days on the mountain, a thoughtfully placed suede leather nosewipe on the back of the thumb provides a soft, non-abrasive surface when you need it most. The Kingpin is the definitive choice for skiers, climbers, and mountain workers who value reliability and a classic aesthetic in their essential gear.Features:* Full goat-leather shell for exceptional durability and dexterity* Reinforced goat-leather palm patch for added abrasion resistance* Fixed 190 g fleece lining for lightweight warmth and comfort* Low-profile short cuff for a seamless fit under jacket sleeves* Soft suede leather nosewipe on the thumb for convenienceTechnical Specifications:* Style: Full fingers* Primary Material: Leather* Gender: Men, Women (Unisex)* Weight (Per Pair): 132 g (4.66 oz)
