Gloves Soloist. Black Diamond Soloist is the perfect pair of gloves for technical alpine adventures in cold weather.. The Soloist glove combines a BD.dry & trade; waterproof insert with an Empel DWR on the shell and a long gauntlet cuff for complete weather protection. The shell can be used alone on warmer days, while the insulated liner, filled with PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core, dries quickly, and insulates even when wet. The reinforced goat leather palm stands up to rocky terrain, repeated rope handling, and the wear and tear associated with dedicated mountain use.
