warm waterproof dexterous gloves.... who's got suggestions?

[DMan]

BD Ice Glove is my go-to, though I spend most the day leading in BD Torques and save the Ice Glove for descents...

BD punishers are super warm and have enough dexterity to lead with. May be a little too warm above 20* IMOP.

Anyone have experience with the BD Arc or Glide? They seem nice also....

I just looked over my gloves and I will be starting my third season on a pair of First Ascent Guide gloves. I have never been cold in them...even when other parts were freezing solid. The leather fingers and palms make tying knots and other tasks easier. They have worn amazing. I have over 100 days in them and they have some wear but I have no doubt the'll make it through this season. I do spray the leather twice a season with water proofer. I have never gotten wet in them but the leather was getting moist so I do it as a precaution.

kinkos insulated gloves, or any work gloves from home depot. when I'm climbing a lot, gloves last two seasons at the most. it's not worth it to me to pay $80 when you can get just-as-good gloves for $12. kinkos insulated gloves are the warmest gloves I've ever used. never needed to waterproof them myself, it's usually cold enough that it doesn't seem to be a problem I guess. (plus the waterproof treatment would wear off pretty quickly anyway.)

I haven't ice climbed in years but recently was shocked to see ice gloves selling for over $150.00 in the Mountain Gear catalog.

now that's just CRAZY!

Yeah I used to purchase waterproof shells and use heavy wool gloves for a liner because the thought of spending $50 every two years for fancy gloves would piss me off.

+1 for the Kincos.  6 pairs and a cool one at the Moat.
