Got a lot of features that I really like it's a solid frame but it's pretty light weighs three and a half pounds this section here is holding it rights quite a ways away from your body so you get a lot of air flow in there and you don't get too hot I like that space in there it's about three inches I guess the.

Straps are quite nicely padded in here all the way down and in the back and. Also along the waist belt and it's a. Women's specific design so this whole section in here is quite a bit shorter than it would be on regular size it's. Got adjustable straps in the very top. And around the hip that you can keep it. Pretty snug as well as the straps themselves tighten up and of course, it's got the chest strap as well and it slides up and down so you can make it pretty comfortable so let's see flip it. Over and on each side has a pouch that.

You can put anything you want in it'll fit a one-liter water bottle though and these side straps they tighten up or. They can be loose whichever you like there's a side pocket on both sides.

The panel that you can have and separate the top from the bottom or you can do like

I have right now and I have it open lots of hooks on the bottom for hanging things on as well I put some clothes and things in here so you can sort of see but that section there is where it fits. In and then, of course, you can undo them. Top so right over here is a pocket. That's really well accessible when you're actually walking use put your hands over your back and grab it so I put things I need during the hike inside sort of more of a safety thing I guess you can keep things inside this pouch here and then it's pretty easy to pull.

Things out I'll just open it up and stay so you can see inside I'll pull out my towel there's a little strap in there with a little bit of velcro that you can hook things on and. Then again this will be oh yeah i. Forgot there's a little pouch in here and you can put the water bladder in it.

Through or whatever I usually just have it coming through the top though it's just pretty easy to do that there's a. Pouch here just for putting things in that you want to keep maybe maps and stuff things that you want accessible and quick and it's got lots of straps on.

The outside that's for keeping your poles hiking poles and let's see what. Else it's overall it's really. Comfortable I quite like it and I've.

This tongue lets fresh air refresh your ankles while giving you the option to customize the boot fit with a removable piece. The 3D Flex tech improves your stability over contorted terrain. The graded polyurethane midsole starts at a whopping 2mm thick in the heel and tapers into a whisper of plastic by the time it reaches your toes.

Well, it's February the 3rd and the ground has been dry for over a month. Probably like six weeks and if you like. Outdoor activities like cell billing and. Stuff like that it really sucks it's. Been a pretty horrible winter for southern Ontario but I always like to look on the bright side of things and the one good thing about it is that there's been a lot of good sales on their clothing in Toronto recently so, I Decided to pick up a couple of pair of. Gloves that I've had my eye on the last couple of years but I haven't been able to decide which one to choose well since.

They both came on sale I thought why not get both and run a little comparison. A video so this is going to be my initial. Impressions or first impressions of the marmot ultimate ski glove versus the. Black diamond guide glove and maybe in a. Couple years after I use them for a while I have an update video to see which one actually works better maybe I'll even try wearing one on one hand and one on the other at the same time to see which I like better but yeah so this. Is gonna be an initial comparison video just to kind of give you guys an idea so. In terms of what comes with the gloves, they basically come with the same thing except for the black diamond guide gloves.

Come with nick wax weatherproofing for. Leather so that's a little bit of a bonus you know it's definitely important to add this nick's nick wax. Leather weather proofing just to make your leather that much extra waterproof. Now if it doesn't come with it like these marmot gloves did not you can, of course, buy it separately this was ten. Bucks from mountain equipment co-op or your local outdoor store otherwise these. Gloves are pretty identical as you can. See one big difference that you can see. Right off the bat is that the marmot.

Gloves come with what's called gore-tex. Active and the black diamond guy gloves. Come with gore-tex warm. Just a quick google search these two. Types of technology are very similar but. It's quite apparent that the warm. 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 in terms of weeks so. 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 them. Extra-large size compared to the large.

The 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. The 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 measurement for from both manufacturers and it's clear that the black diamond glove does fit tighter than the marmot so 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. The shell of a glove inside for very cold. Conditions. Now the marmot gloves have these ripples. In the knuckles that are supposed to add a little bit of dexterity, you can as well.

See that a few other small differences the black diamond guide glove have. Leather surrounding the entire thumb whereas the back of the thumb on the marmot glove is cloth. Similarly, in between the fingers and the. 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. Things pulling on rope helping people. Get out of stuck situations on theirs. 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 them. Another 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 to 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 at least we know to live in dirt biking again and for those cold early spring rides your ATV. In the dirt biking, I expect these gloves will work well for that as well I'll keep you posted an update video will follow in a couple of years.
