Thanks for the awesome review! Just got these myself for spring climbing and skiing in Colorado. Btw love your ice axe collection in the back. I have the same ones! BD Raven and 2 BD Venoms. Your review is right on point, pretty much agree with everything you said.

+Owen Zhou thanks so much Owen! The Venoms have been a great investment, think it's time to review those as well.
Thank you
I work in mountainous areas often however I'm not actually doing any climbing. Would the mid-weight or heavy weight softshell gloves suffice ? Approx altitude is between 12000 to 15000 ft
Great review video, thanks! I realize you posted this a long time ago but if you can still answer... How is the fit of these gloves? For example I usually wear size Large gloves but with some gloves size Medium is a bit better.

Sorry about the delay. If you're still curious, I'd say they run just a bit big. I wear an L to XL and the L here fits me fine.
What would you recommend for -0F weather? Grip and dexterity is a necessity for me and I haven't found anything that would be idea yet.

I've tried a few options for sub-zero but everything I've found has been petty bulky at that point limiting dexterity. BD's Guide Gloves are rated down to -20F and while I can't even slightly tie a shoelace with them, I can still belay, manage a pack, shovel, etc. Pairs well with a light liner glove for a few moments of adjustment before they go back on.
