In reply to KlaasW: I used the assaults last season and thought they were good for technical climbing (by my standards)with a lot of dexterity for the warmth you're getting. The leather on them is pretty good only a few scratches after a good seasons use on Skye and I've recently applied wax and expect another full season out of them.
Comparing the warmth of the assault to the the likes of the M.E colouir it lacks a bit, mainly because it uses a fleece liner rather than a pile/fleece combo.
The mountain equipment colouir is worth a look as well, I've just got a pair to add to the collection for this coming winter and have only used them at the ice factor a few times so far but they've been promissing!
If you're after something cheaper the guide glove (m.e again, you would almost think I'm brand loyal) is a bargain when it can be found for around £36 online, much like the more technical gloves in the range just using M.E's own fabrics which reduce the longevity of them but they perform well.
If you're climbing in places where it's mostly dry and you don't have too much moisture to worry about then worky/freezer gloves are worth buying, I'm a big fan as they can be updated throughout the day for a dry pair. They're cheap as chips and grip axes really well.
Hope I've been of some help.
