Black Diamond Glissade Glove - Mens
|
For all-mountain riding in mid-temp locales, get a hold of the Black Diamond Glissade glove. Light and supple, the Glissade Glove is 100% waterproof. Your hands will appreciate the Glissade’s suppleness as you’ll be able to fine tune bindings, assemble a split-board, and adjust your FlickLock Poles with ease. The shock-corded gauntlet can be closed with a tug of one hand or with your teeth, and a non-removable fleece lining provides you with day-long warmth as you rip silly in the backcountry.

Glissade Glove Mens
Beautifully designed glove. Well built and detailed. Palm is very nice and the area between the thumb and forefinger is double thick. Should withstand a season or two of ski pole usage. Fit is great although I had to order up a size. It has been my experience that BD gloves run a little small.
Good dexterity, mediocre warmth
I'm one of those people with cold hands, and these gloves just aren't warm enough for downhill skiing for me unless it's super-warm out. They're swell for skinning up, and have quite good dexterity.

Training Tips
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
