I've only ice climbed a few times here in the midwest, but for what its worth I've been pleased with insulated XC ski gloves (100 gram insulation, synthetic leather palms, articulated fingers, & padding on back that perfectly accomodates ice tool leash straps - which are essentially same set-up as XC ski pole wrist straps). They only cost $35 a pair, so you can get two sets for the price of one name brand 'ice glove'. Therefore if you drive away with a pair atop your car you won't go broke (lesson learned - place items on the hood of your car if you must). Today was the first time I wore synthetic glove liners inside these gloves account morning temp was 5 F. topping out at 12 F, & ice was wet. Didn't have to switch out to my dry pair all day, despite one glove being glazed solid like a gauntlet from ice.
