A glove layering system is an often overlooked but highly effective solution to keep your hands warm, dry, and ready to go throughout the day.

Black Diamond certainly thinks this i..

The, “law of headbands,” while not quite well known, is no less consistent than the laws of gravity or thermodynamics.
