UL Overmitts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lightweight and versatile, the Black Diamond UL Overmitts integrate seamlessly into a glove layering system, offering critical protection when conditions turn wet and cold.

Black Diamond says: 

Made for ultralight hikers and ultrarunners, the UL Overmitts are designed for light and fast missions and stormy forecasts. Made from a 3-layer waterproof/breathable recycled nylon shell fabric, these emergency mitts can pack down to a minuscule size.

Our Verdict

The Black Diamond UL Overmitts are an excellent choice for ultralight hikers and runners who need reliable, packable protection in wet or stormy conditions. Weighing as little as 24g for the small size, these mitts offer an emergency waterproof solution made from 3-layer breathable recycled nylon. Their highly packable design makes them ideal for fast-and-light adventures, easily stowing away in a pocket or pack.

These overmitts are particularly effective as part of a glove layering system, much like the layering system for clothing. They function as a hard shell layer, providing waterproof and windproof protection over your insulation and (or) base layers. The silicone-textured palm adds grip, and the reflective logo enhances visibility in low light.
