I purchased the M.E guide gloves for a trip to Scotland and it is fair to say that they have come in 'handy' on more than one occasion.
Due to the fit of the glove they naturally have your hands set as though you was holding a ball, this means holding an ice axe comes with ease.
The best thing about these gloves is that the fleece and pile lining does not catch on your hands when they are wet, they simply slide on.
I think the price is very reasonable for what they are, warmth and comfort on the mountain is essential.
