Black Diamond Mitten Size Guide
Find the right Black Diamond mitten size using the official men's, women's and unisex size charts.
Black Diamond determines mitten sizing according to hand circumference. Men's and unisex models generally use sizes from XS to XXL, while women's models follow a dedicated size chart ranging from XXS to L.
Available sizes may vary depending on the model. Always refer to the product page to check which sizes are offered.
How to choose the right Black Diamond mitten size
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand using a flexible measuring tape. Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger than the other.
A mitten should keep your hand secure while leaving enough space for warm air to circulate. Mittens that are too tight can reduce insulation and limit comfort in cold conditions.
How to measure your hand
Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand across the knuckles, without including the thumb.
Keep your hand relaxed and the tape comfortably snug without tightening it. Record the measurement in centimetres and compare it with the appropriate Black Diamond size chart.

What if you are between two sizes?
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose a mitten that leaves enough room to maintain proper insulation while still fitting securely around your hand.
Mittens are designed to keep fingers together to maximise warmth. They should never compress your hand or restrict natural movement.
How should a mitten fit?
Once the mitten is fully on, your fingers should naturally reach the end without being compressed. You should still be able to grip ski poles or mountain equipment comfortably.
The wrist should remain secure once the cuff or closure system has been adjusted, helping to prevent snow and cold air from entering.
