Details

The Black Diamond Solano Mitts deploy supplemental battery-powered heat to keep you going lap after lap. Inside, Black Diamond has upgraded their low-profile and fully rechargeable heating system using the premise of countercurrent exchange-the transfer of heat through orienting the heat source perpendicular to the blood flow in the wrist. The heating element now wraps around the inside of the wrist, which increases the mitt's warmth and your body's ability to warm itself. This system includes three-levels of heat that are controllable via an integrated LED switch. On the exterior of the mitts, a premium goat leather shell backed up by a fully waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX insert stands up to the rigors of long days on the mountain in variable conditions. We've also increased the PrimaLoft® Gold insulation on the back of the hand and added PrimaLoft® Gold to the palm with Grip Control for better control while skiing. A zippered carrying case and included outlet adapters make for easy storage and charging while traveling.

BLACK DIAMOND GLOVE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Black Diamond builds several collections of gloves and mittens to serve specific applications in the most demanding environments on the planet. Taking care of your quality gloves will extend their life and performance.

Always seek to air dry your gloves after use in the field, and FOR BEST RESULTS follow the instructions below:

Handwash Your Gloves:

  • When possible, wipe gloves clean with a damp cloth, then allow to dry.
  • If necessary, use a mild soap recommended for washing wool and/or delicate products.

-       Cotton or synthetic washing materials and those containing bleach or Sodium Perborate are not suitable.

-       Do not use any fabric conditioner.

-       Do not use strong washing materials as they may damage the leather’s performance properties.

  • Produce a good lather in lukewarm water using mild soap.
  • Immerse the gloves and wash gently while wearing.
  • Remove gloves and rinse thoroughly in clean water.
  • To best prolong your glove’s lifespan wash them before they become too soiled!

Dry Your Gloves:

  • Squeeze out all excess water from the fingers toward the cuff and pull gently into shape.
  • Put the gloves on your hand to restore shape and fit.
  • Hang to dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Use a suede brush to restore the nap on suede portion of gloves.
  • DO NOT TUMBLE DRY OR PLACE ON A HEAT SOURCE

Restore the Waterproofing on Your Glove Shell:


Black Diamond believes our responsibility is not only to deliver the best performing gear, but to do so while minimizing adverse environmental effects. For example, Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are under increasing scrutiny as an element of durable water repellent (DWR) coatings and treatments in technical apparel. Because Nikwax is committed to providing PFC-free, high performance aftercare products Black Diamond highly recommends maintaining your gloves per the below instructions.

 

All Leather Insulated Gloves & Mittens

Natural leather combines abrasion resistance and breathability. Regular care will keep them performing to support your activities.

  • Remove surface dirt with a rag, using lukewarm water if needed. Air dry.
  • To restore water resistance, use Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather. Place a small amount of the cream (dime sized) on the glove and rub in evenly  paying special attention to the seams. After ten minutes remove any excess with a damp cloth.
  • Repeat treatment as needed for optimal water resistance.

 

 

Fabric and Leather Insulated Gloves & Mittens

Combinations of synthetic materials (typically nylon) and leather allow a design tailored to the application for weight, cost or other consideration.

  • Remove surface dirt with a rag, using lukewarm water and Nikwax Tech Wash as needed. Some gloves can be machine washed (check label). Air dry.
  • To restore water resistance, use Nikwax Glove Proof. Shake container. Press sponge tip to break seal. Apply evenly, paying special attention to seams and stitching. After two minutes remove any excess. Allow to air dry.
  • Repeat treatment as needed for optimal water resistance.

Color Fastness of Leather and Fabric:

The color fastness of leather and fabric is highly dependent on shade and finish.  Darker leather and fabric colors may be prone to migration if used in proximity with lighter colored fabrics or leather.  White or light colored gloves should not be washed with colored articles.  Colored gloves may be washed with other items of a similar color provided the above instructions are followed.
