Ice climbing/winter Mountaineering Glove Help

[PeterM]

I need some new gloves for the above purposes. I have an old pair of Lowes that have seen their day. I need to start looking now for a new pair. I have tried on some OR's and BD's but nothing has really "grabbed me". If anyone uses a certain glove and model, would you let me know if you like them. Thanks for any advice

For cold temperature the Ice-Sparring from Granite Gear did really well

But for the normal down to -5 ice climb I like the Dry-Tool from BD I have given the Cloudveil Ice-Flow a try last winter and they seems good but a little too balky for my every day use but other with colder extremities syndrome swear by them

For single day ice climbing I got a pair of these "glacier gloves" which are neoprene with a thin fleece lining. Obviously they dont breathe, but they are about as warm as you could want.

I've had bad experience with neoprene gloves. They're good for summer mountaineering when you're dealing with wet, wet glaciers, but for ice climbing they're not very comfortable and not too warm, and they melt like candle wax on rappel.

 

I really like my Patagonia Stretch Element gloves. They are real warm in very cold conditions (I've used them down to -30 or so), leather palms and fingers so real durable, and are decently dexterious. Not as nimble as the old Triolet glove b/c have more leather but the leather makes them more durable.

 

Only $100 and if/when you destroy them Pataguch will replace.
