"They are flexible and comfy but seem well insulated. I like that it seems like I could use my fingers in these with cold weather, unlike other gloves that are too bulky. Haven't taken them into too cold of weather yet, so we'll see how they hold up."
"I am a recreational ice climber in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. The Punishers check my main two boxes for ice climbing gloves, which is that they are warm and waterproof, however I echo other reviews in saying that you should definitely size up. Additionally, and perhaps this is because I had to size up for general fit, there is some extra fabric at the end of the fingertips that limits dexterity a little and sometimes gets caught in the carabiner gates. Overall I like them and they are my go-to climbing gloves alongside the OR Extravert."
"I have flown a small black helicopter with no doors for the last 15 years and I've been in search of winter gloves from the beginning. I cannot believe it's taken so long to find these punisher gloves. They are perfect! They keep my hands warm and give me just enough dexterity to feel the flight control buttons and work the aircraft systems. Who knew all I have to do was look at the ice climbing world. Hopefully the word gets out because these are amazing gloves."
"Very happy with these gloves. They have a nice natural curve that makes gripping tools, poles, or rope easy. Warm enough for active pursuits."
"I have a bevy of gloves, but these are my go to gloves when the temps drop allot. Its hard to find thick gloves, that feel dextrous and these are about as good as I have found."
"perfecto para alpinismo"
"These gloves are fantastic. The dexterity you get with these while staying very warm and dry is incredible. They are also extremely durable. I highly recommend."
"Love the pre bent fingertips, a great amount of insulation for a cold day without sacrificing feel, grip, or causing early pump!"
"great ice climbing gloves. Warm enough without being too bulky."
