BLACK DIAMOND Men's Patrol Cold Weather Waterproof Winter Gloves - Warm & Windproof Snow Gloves for Skiing, Hiking & Outdoor Activities

Most of my use of these gloves is in alpine climbing / mountaineering where these serve as my "oh damn, it's cold" gloves.Obviously this is a heavy glove, well insulated, durability built which means limited dexterity. Tying shoelaces would be impossible but I can handle ropes, axes and even some zippers decently enough and without taking them off.As for their primary cold weather use and protection, the Patrols are absolutely amazing. As described, these are workhorse gloves, they've held up great across snow, ice, rock and keep my hands toasty warm without suffering too badly from sweat. Admittedly I try to stay out of them and into something lighter (I run hot), but when it gets bad they deliver. Water does not remotely start to get through and the wrist cuff draws work well with shells or puffy jackets for layering though those could be a little longer / wider.Size is a little on the small side (I wear an XL but am probably just a solid L). Packability is limited as these are pretty rigid but they're not crazy bulky or heavy.
