This glove is streamlined with just enough warmth, No bulk in the palm getting in the way of a tight grip on tools, yet insulation is still there. Grippy leather. Stretch panel on the back of hand makes closed grip comfortable as well. It is trim through the wrist but there is no way to tighten the true wrist or back of the hand material but most gloves fail at this. Overall, excellent glove for dexterous active climbing without giving up much warmth.

Returned these without climbing in them, I bought XL and I'm usually between L and XL. These were slightly too small in finger length but not unusable. Nice snug design and excellent finish (Mtn Equipment is always one of my favorites) but I returned because the palm side insulation was too thick to get good purchase on the ice tools. The pile material was in the way of a completely closed grip around the handle and when I tried to force the grip, the insulation between the fingers also created too much pressure. I could see these being best for cold weather mountaineering but they lack the comfort for vertical ice. Maybe the pile lining would pack out a bit and form to the hand after a few trips but I have learned not to chance it on high end gloves, they either fit or they dont. Someone with more space between each finger might have better luck.
