My girlfriend got me some of these gloves for Christmas because I get cold hands when ice climbing. They are awesome but I'm unsure if I should keep them or get something else. Does anybody have experience climbing in these? Does the bulk make you overgrip the tool? How is placing gear with them? Thanks.

I have a pair and love them. That being said, if you take them off and allow them to get cold they get super stiff...either keep them on or store them close to your core. I don't really climb ice but I would imagine they are a bit bulky/stiff for putting in ice screws and clipping ropes. Probably great for belaying or backup.

On longer ice routes I carry 3 pairs of gloves; 1 for climbing, 1 thin pair for dealing with equipment and such, and another burly pair for rappelling, so that I won't tear up or soak my good climbing gloves. These look like great gloves for rappelling; with the leather palms, similar to the Kingpin gloves I use.

I have them and love them. I was only cold once with them and it was a winter Mt hood climb. My partner had down mittens and had cold hands too. They have decent knuckle padding too.

The bulk of these gloves can get challenging to work with on narrow, leashless grips with big paws. You can definitely overgrip then. These are nice for cold areas doing leashed climbing.
