【Introduction of staff favorite items】　Black Diamond technical winter gloves used by mountain climbing guides

Hello. Chofu Parco store, Staff S.

Have you ever wondered what kind of wear and Gere used to climb the mountain? I have heard about what the clerk used before working at the mountain climbing equipment store, and when I heard that he was using it, I remember that he was interested in the gear.

Therefore, I would like to introduce the favorite items of our store clerk on a regular basis from now on. Please go to the mountain for your shopping, or ask the clerk about the feeling of use of the gear.

The first one is a winter favorite by Fukazawa Guide, akoujitusannsou Mountaineering School instructor.

Winter gloves tend to emphasize heat retention, but due to the work of mountain climbing guides, it is only a problem. The guide may be used with ropes and carabiners, and gloves must have a balance between operability and heat retention.

(Gloves like the third photo have high heat retention and are for climbing snowy mountains, but they are not suitable for guides because they are inferior to operability.)

In this regard, it is designed based on motocross gloves, so it is highly operable, and it uses BD.dry, a waterproof and moisture-permeable material for various activities in snowy mountains. The heat retention is inferior to the gloves of climbing snowy mountains, but it can be solved by layering.

The palm is made of leather with high grip strength, and it is designed not to slip when using ropes. Also, when using Ice Ax, it can be controlled in detail, so it is useful for ice climbing etc.

It is a choice of gear like a mountain climbing guide that must respond to situations that ordinary climbers do not encounter. This was the introduction of the ARC of the Fukazawa Guide's favorite product, Black Diamond.

In addition, we have a variety of gears and wears at our shop. If you have any questions, please come and feel free to contact us.
