Two questions:
Are they insulated? I'm looking for something that i can wear on a warm/hot day but still be able to have my hands in snow and wet rock without getting uncomfortable.
How much manual dexterity do they leave you with? I'd like to be grabbing onto rock, branches, and using ice axes, trekking poles, crampons and things of that nature while wearing them.

Not insulated -- but windproof. These have tons of dexterity (snug fit, supple leather palm). You could definitely use these as a stand-alone in warmer weather.
