Perfect mid-weight glove
This is the perfect glove for me for typical days ice climbing or skiing in and out of bounds. I’ve also done a fair amount of mixed climbing with them and they have a nice mix of dexterity and warmth. I have around 50 days of use with them and they haven’t really worn much at all (I do regularly treat the leather with Hestra glove oil), and they have never once let my hands get wet. Great job, BD!

Best light insulated gloves for ice climbing
These thing are sweet. On my second pair and if I had not burnt holes in them from being to close to buddy heater I would still be on my first pair. Dexterity for grabbing screws and sinking them to attaching draws and clipping they allow you to feel through every move. They do not puff up and create over gripping pressure combine with the pre-curve fingers man the best gloves. Have had them in 0° and had not had to switch gloves between leading and at belay. Waterproof, grippy leather and even a a spot to wipe your nose. A must have in your kit. I have camp geckos as well and came back to these killer. They will keep you saying I'll Be Back.
These are awesome mild-temp, winter
These are awesome mild-temp, winter climbing gloves. The dexterity to warmth ratio is really amazing. I climb in these and then belay in the Dirtbag Gloves, alternating which pair I leave in my jacket to warm up. This is in 10-15 degree F temperatures and that system works pretty good. I would recommend moving to a higher insulation glove system for anything colder than that, although I'd like to say I have not tried these with a liner yet.
almost
the fingers are just a weird length - even in a size large i feel like they are bit short. but i guess i have skinnyish hands and long fingers. anyways, these are a daily driver glove for leading steep ice in cold and dry-ish conditions. they are well made enough, though like all ice climbing gloves, overpriced and consumable, meaning I hope they last 2 seasons if i am lucky...
Better than the Arc glove
I was disheartened when I hear the BD ARC glove was discontinued. I have used the ARC for 8 years guiding and wondered what I would replace it with with dexterity and warmth top of the list. The Terminator fit this bill and has exceeded my expectations. Great fo lifting skis out of the basket but warm enought to go all day in the mountains. Top choice for the ARC replacement.
Nice ice gloves
These gloves are great and ran warm for me down to low teens F. Very comfortable for swinging the axes on ice or climbing up winter rock. Keeps a lot of dexterity and can be used to jam hands in cracks etc. only downside is when your hands get sweaty the liner can be somewhat sticky when removing the gloves.
Great for mixed climbing!
I bought these gloves to be my primary cold weather mixed climbing gloves. The insulation is perfect for keeping my hands warm yet thin enough to allow for excellent dexterity. The gloves are low profile and not too bulky. I love these gloves for cranking on my ice tools.
expectedly excellent gloves
I have a similar model from Black Diamond, the Panisher model, but after one very difficult mixed climb in which I had to clear the terrain of snow and ice a lot, they were badly damaged, but now there is a terminator and I am fully prepared again!
Great Durability
Wore these climbing Mount Adams and found them to be very durable and perfect with an ice axe! My only complaint is they are tight enough to be a challenge to get on & off, and impossible to put back on if there's moisture inside.

gloves are much lighter than the terminators of 4+ years ago
I was trying to replace one of my favorite pairs of ice climbing gloves which finally blew out in every finger beyond repair. BUT the current Terminator is much lighter than the medium/heavy weight Terminator of the past. Its more akin to the lightest of the old BD ice gloves (can't recall name), and similar in weight to the old Camp Gecko Lite, and maybe a little heavier than the current OR Stormtracker. ALSO, sizing fits very differently than the current punisher and the current soloist and the old Terminator. Per BD's size chart, I am now a small in their gloves (5 years ago I was a medium I think). But the small Terminator is too small for me to fit my hand, whereas the small Punisher fits me but tight, and the small Soloist is almost too big. more on this in my review of the Punisher. Terminator looks like a well made glove (much like the old one), and I really like the longer cuff and velcro strap on this version, protect better and seems more durable when the velcro strap on my old terminators nearly tore off several times over the 4 years I used them.
