Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These gloves are horrible. They actually make your hands colder than no gloves at all buy conducting heat away from your hands. I had them for one week of ice climbing before the liner started to flake off on my hands. Junk. Recommend the BD Impulse or the Torque.

 
Great glove, but...

Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Good Fit, Great Grip, Versatile
Cons:
Poor Stitching
Best Uses:
Freezing Conditions, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

There are so many plus's to this glove. I love the fit, and overall function. Great grip on the palm. The only reason I didn't put this glove as either a four or five star set, is because I've already had tear in the stitching after one and a half day of wearing it. It is something I am willing to repair myself, because I think I can do a better job, but I shouldn't have to after so little use. Perhaps I got a bad set, but the quality control should be better then. I would recommend them to a friend with the caveat that they may need to repair them.
