Black Diamond Torque Glove

Black Diamond Torque Glove description

Black Diamond created the ultralight Torque Ice Glove for leashless ice and mixed climbing on the most-demanding pitches on earth. Stretchy softshell material allows total dexterity, and the ultra-grippy synthetic palms stick to your leashless tools like glue when you need to match, steinpull, or crank for a distant hook. Slip into the Black Diamond Torque Ice Glove, grab your leashless tools, and dispense with another overhanging piece of rock and the free-hanging ice that follows.

Bottom Line: Make sure you have the Black Diamond Torque Ice Glove on your hand when you sport leashless tools in your hand.

Great for leashless climbing on steep ice. Very sticky. I use mine with with the jetstream glove liner (highly recommended) because these have no insulation.

A really sticky, uninsulated glove for climbing mixed/steep ice lines. I start the day off in these and go with a warmer glove later during the day after these get soaked or my hands start to go numb. The seams do eventually split, obviously, but these things hold together great with a little bit of Seam-Seal. In fact, my palms are more Seam-Seal now than original glove, and they still work great. Lightly padded knuckles are a nice tough - keeps the bleeding to a minimum.
