BLACK DIAMOND<br />Helio Glove<br />Winter 2017.18

A lightweight, three-in-one glove system designed for weight-conscious ski mountaineers and alpinists, the Helio Gloves provide serious versatility for serious alpine objectives.

Creating a 3 in 1 system glove that blends the perfect balance of warmth, fit and function is no easy task and the Helio really nails it. The Helio inner glove is much more substantial with a softshell (wind and water resistant) backing and durable grip zones on the palm and fingers. These grip zones are bonded PU which allows the inner glove to slide easily in or out of the outer glove. The outer glove includes a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex® insert, 40g of PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation, super light yet highly durable ripstop Dyneema® fabric on the back of hand, durable, water resistant goat leather on the palm and fingers. Two synching systems seal in warmth and ensure a good fit. The outer glove packs down super small to fit in the jacket pocket.

Here at Black Diamond it’s all about climbing and skiing. We share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice and snow and these experiences push us to make the best gear possible for our worldwide family of climbers and skiers. What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has grown into a global company with offices on three continents that’s not just for rock climbers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standards in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It’s also the result of each of us being climbers and skiers ourselves.
