The Ninja Black ice are the same as the Skytec Argon, just with a different branding or colour.
They are a stretchy tight fit for dexterity but it's still difficult to get smaller sizes for short fingers. Ideally you need to try them on.
I bought six pairs for about £30 three years ago expecting them to be almost disposable at only £5.00 a pair.
Since then I've been using two of the pairs most of the time in Scotland for winter courses and climbing and they're still going strong!
They've been the only gloves I've used in the Alps during the past few summers on mixed ice routes.
I've also used them leading for two seasons ice climbing in La Grave.
Designed with great grip and dexterity for engineers and mechanics they are ideal for climbers placing and removing gear. A bit too grippy for coiling the rope easily though.
The only drawbacks I've found is when your hands get really wet, it's difficult to put them on or to take them off. However as the dexterity is so good you often don't need to take them off to faff with gear and the rubber grip makes them ideal for icy rock climbing.
They can take ages to dry unless you reverse the inner linings out and afterwards putting the fingers back in, is a test of patience!
Not the warmest of gloves for hanging around in, but great for leading or moving quickly.
I suffer from poor circulation and have always had big problems with my hands going numb and getting the hot aches. Yet despite this I been pleasantly surprised at how rarely I've needed to use my back up Extremities wind pro berber fleece gloves or Buffalo mits.
BTW great for placing ice screws when leashless ice climbing
