Mountain Hardwear Jalapeno Glove
toasty, dry, decent dexterity

I will admit I was suckered into these by Andrew's post about their magic qualities, but they are unfortunately all they're cracked up to be. I've used them for all day ice climbing in the Northeast and didn't touch the other pairs of gloves one invariably brings. They have decent dexterity (can place screws & clip), they are warm, they stay dry, and the wrist closure is the best I've used (one hand can open or close). I've also skied and scraped my car down with them, and they work well for those tasks too. Tapered fingers might improve dexterity, but it's pretty good given how warm they are.
