contact glove is my goto glove for ice climbing. it fits my hands better than most gloves (large hands, short fingers). leather seems to be more supple and abrasion resistant than anything else, so they're good when you don't want to mess w/ 2 pairs of gloves: 1 for climbing, 1 for rappelling.

Warm for the weight, and has great dexterity for manipulating gear on ice climbs. Thin-ish palm material makes gripping the ice tools just a bit easier than usual. Not quite as warm as the Punisher, but has a much better "feel" to it.
