The ultimate in impact and"wet" ice protection, the Mens Enforcer Glove by Black Diamond is designed to take on the nastiest of conditions. The d30 padding hardens upon impact yet remains supple and flexible during use. Wetness is shut down with a 100% waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex with XCR Product Technology insert, and abrasion-resistant schoeller fabric provides a stellar grip. Insulated with PrimaLoft and fleece, the Enforcer will keep your digits warm in temps that dip well south of freezing. Imported.

The Enforcer is a great glove if you're willing to sacrifice a dexterity for comfort, but be warned handling ice screws and gear is much tougher relative to other gloves. Aside from that despite low teens temps, my fingers were in great shape after a week of ice climbing in cold conditions. The shell has great grip, excellent dryness and the d30 protected my fingers on a few bad sticks. The only issue though is the liner. When you pull your hands out the fingers retract into the palm and do not easily go back into place. So its not great on multipitch routes, but still a good glove
