Dan DaltonThese things...

Voted 5/5

kick ass! Ok, so I am not a high-end mixed climber...yet, but I am sure that I will be using these for years to come. I like them a little snug and they offer really great wrist protection, which is key for me. I use these all the time when practicing in the gym since the sticky rubber of the palm helps me hold on to the tools when I start to get pumped. Equally good outside, except for the cooldest of days. They have moderate insulation, but are really designed for mixed and drytool climbing, (such as that offered in Vail and Ouray Ice Park.) I would not recomend these for alpine or longer climbs, they are better suited for ice and dry-tool 'cragging'.
