Tried these last season and I love them! They are thin, water proof and the synthetic grip wont get wet like leather. I really was worried about the non leather palm. But I am very pleased I bought these! The synthetic material grips great on the tools as well as the rope. Also when you are at the belay and your lead gloves go into your shirt(to dry them and warm them up) there isn't a lot of wet leather freezing against your belly. This is my go to glove for leading technical ice. $50-60. Not too expensive either.
I climbed in temps as low as 5 deg. F, and I was fine while climbing in them. Had to go to the thicker gloves while on belay though.
Anybody else try these?

None of the MH gloves fit me last year. The index finger was way too long, which is annoying when trying to clip.
I'm pretty psyched to try them this year though, since all of the MH gloves I've tried on this year fit great!

Yup me too. So I went to a Ladies Large. The fingers are shorter. Try them on to be sure. :)
