With a tough build, reliable warmth, and functional design, the Black Diamond Mercury Mitts are a reliable option for dedicated winter adventurers who face harsh conditions.
Black Diamond says:
The Black Diamond Mercury Mitt is a popular choice for year-round use and combines a BD.dry™ waterproof insert with an Empel DWR on the shell. The removable insulated liner, filled with Primaloft Gold Cross Core, dries quickly, and insulates even when wet. A four-way stretch fabric shell and a long gauntlet cuff keep spindrift and moisture outside, while the goat leather palm and additional reinforcement layer stands up to rocky terrain, repeated rope handling and the general wear and tear associated with dedicated mountain use.
Our Verdict
The Black Diamond Mercury Mitts are a robust choice for winter conditions, built to keep hands warm and dry in extreme cold. Featuring “BD.dry” Black Diamonds waterproof insert and treated with a DWR l, these mitts are well-suited to snow and wet environments. The mitts come with an insulated removable liner incorporating PrimaLoft Gold, ensuring your hands stay warm and functional in frigid conditions.
The recycled shell fabric's four-way stretch allows freedom of movement, and the long gauntlet cuff effectively seals out snow. The reinforced goat leather palm offers durability for high-wear activities. While rated for temperatures down to -26ºC, those at the colder end may benefit from adding a liner or tin baselayer glove for extra warmth.
