Product Description

The Black Diamond Spark Ski Mittens in Ink are built for skiers who spend long days in cold, demanding conditions and want gear they can rely on. Combining a durable goatskin leather shell with a BD.dry™ waterproof insert, these mitts shrug off wet snow, tree branches and everyday wear that comes with lift laps and backcountry missions alike.

Inside, a buttery-soft fleece lining and PrimaLoft® Gold insulation deliver excellent heat retention while remaining breathable and comfortable during high-output skiing. The mitt construction naturally boosts warmth, while internal finger slots improve dexterity for pole handling, buckles and zips. EVA padding adds extra protection in key areas, and the updated Freeride cuff with hook-and-loop wrist closure seals out snow and locks the fit securely.

Built with recycled materials in the lining and insulation, the Spark Mitt balances performance, durability and value, making it a go-to option for skiers who want warm, hard-wearing mitts that won’t let them down.
