What kinda gloves do you like for cold weather rock climbing?

I've been using fingerless wool for the climbing and leather work gloves that fit over the wool for belaying/rappelling. I guess I am not super happy about the performance of the wool gloves but they seem durrable and grip the rock reasonably well.

Any suggestions??

Bronco,

Even in light of all the techy windproof fleeces, if I am using synthetic gloves, just a plain pair of P200 weight gloves has worked fine for me. I have a friend who bought those mitten/fingerless gloves (palm folds off) made of whidproof fabric, still waiting to hear feedback on the experiment.

I have used cheap military surplus wool gloves for a number of years now as lightweight liner/late season ice/cold rock climbing gloves. They are not exceptional at any one thing, but they are pretty cheap, and have worked well for me. At $3/pair I can go through them without too much worry.
