Picked up a pair yesterday, not cheap but they seem to fit really well. Intended purpose is to add to my collection of ice climbing gloves (most bought on sale).
Montreal has a pretty limited collection of technical ice gloves so finding properly fitting ones only comes once in a while. I'll keep the packaging for a little while in case I find a better deal.
Not the Cam SV, but I found my favorite ever ice glove last year in the Venta SV. I love them, they fit my hand well without a ton of extra material at the tip of each finger like most other brands (especially BD). I think the Venta is more-or-less identical to the Cam except made with insulated Windstopper whereas the Cam is a stretch woven softshell.
Was actually thinking about grabbing a pair of the Cams since they'd probably breath better than the Ventas which can tend to get a bit clammy on warmer days.
The price is steep for the gloves but the incredible comfort and dexterity makes up for it, for me at least.

Anyone has any comments on these gloves?
I had these gloves for two years. Insanely dextrous and pretty warm. My only complaint is that they got pretty cold as soon as a decent amount of snow got on them (the softshell material isn't waterproof). This limited their use in ice climbing. As a belay glove, however they were fantastic. Unfortunately, I left them on the subway one day (*facepalm*).
