INBIKE Cycling Gloves for Men Winter Windproof Reflective Thermal Gel Pads Touch Screen

I have had a chance to use these gloves on mountain bike rides when the temperatures are in the mid-20s and they worked reasonably well. These gloves are not heavily insulated but they are windproof, so once my hands were warm they pretty much stayed warm. Looking at the gloves, the gel padding is thicker than I typically like. That said, I found the gloves comfortable to wear and the the padding was never distracting to me while I was riding. I like the wrist strap – it makes it easy to get the gloves on and off, but seals tightly to avoid heat escaping.

My dislike: I personally could go without the reflective material on the gloves. But I realize this is probably a useful feature for road riders.

For the price, I am quite pleased with these gloves. I can only hope that they prove to be reasonably durable. I did dry these in the drier after washing, and the straps appeared to soften and disfigure a little bit. They are still usable, and I am pretty sure if I warm them in the drier again I can probably get them back as they were originally. I haven’t bothered to look at the care instructions for them, but I would definitely recommend air drying these gloves after washing.

Took these gloves out for two test rides, so far.

1st ride was fairly “mild” for Canadian weather at about -6C in low wind conditions. My hands were a bit toasty since there wasn’t much wind, but not sweaty.

2nd ride was -7C (wind chill -17C) for a 40 minute ride (~15km) into a headwind of 19 km/h with gusts of 28 km/h which was a good test. Average speed was 25.6 km/h and 46.8 km/h max. I rode about half my ride into the wind and could not feel any wind coming through. Any cold that was felt may have just been the temperature which was slight at best. Pushing my bike with a tailwind behind me, my hands were still comfortable.

I got US medium (Asia large) size gloves which fit very well. Not too tight or loose around the hand or fingers. I’m able to actuate my Shimano Ultegra “brifters” shifting up and down without issue. I like that the gloves have a long flared cuff to cover the gap between your jacket sleeve and wrist which is an important feature. Exposed skin in the winter = cold.

I was concerned about the warmth of the gloves from some other reviews, but comfort in colder temperatures depends on the individual’s comfort level. For my two test rides, my hands stayed warm and most importantly kept out the wind which is really what will freeze your fingers when cycling.

The touch screen functionality of the gloves works, although as they are a bit bulkier, I find I have to use my fingertip for precise swiping/tapping which is fine.

The glove thickness is just a little slimmer than my “slim” ski gloves which work well for cycling as you need a bit more dexterity for changing gears which will depend on what kind of shifters you have.

I will update my review if I take these out for colder rides and I hit a temperature limit of how cold these gloves are good for. For now, these will be my go-to gloves when the temps hit -5C or lower.

What’s to like:
Bright yellow bands on top of gloves improves rider visibility.
Reflective silver colored dots on top of fingers also will help improve rider visibility in oncoming headlights.
Phone Touch points actually worked well (on this iPad).
Palm area has gel padding in several places
Long Wrist wrap with velcro-like latching at end
They are rated water-proof and breathable (but I did not do a test ride to confirm)
I Ordered a USA Large which was mostly good, but very snug fit on each hand (length of each finger in glove was a match for my hand)
HOWEVER, My issue with these gloves is fit related: there is an embedded, 360 degree, elastic band located too far forward (for me) in both of these gloves;
1. It should be on the wrist area, but instead us on the heel of the hand and thus also across the bony part of my hand.
2. This elastic is so tight that it stops the blood flow in the artery on top of each hand of this senior citizen!
I could try to cut these “elastic” bands, but that could damage the wind and water protection, not to mention the comfort in the area of the glove’s now cut area.
Thus I am reluctantly returning these and will look for gloves in a local shop where I can try them on first.
Bottom line, these gloves well be fantastic for some riders, but did not work for me 😞

I wear these when I’m cycling in the winter and they definitely do a good job keeping my hands warm. I will say though, the limit seems to be about 15 degrees outside where my hands start to go a little numb after 20-30 minutes, but most people won’t be outside in that temperature. I highly recommend this for anyone who’s going to be cycling outside in the cold.

Fit is great super soft and warm feeling .. I have used for several hundred kilometers of riding now one trip of 100km on gravel the padding is good and helps with vibration and hand fatigue.. they have held up and kept my hands dry despite several hrs of biking in moderate rain .. also used I heavy wind with temps of -2 and hands are toasty warm .. definitely windproof and waterproof as far as I can tell I am on vancouver island so cant speak for real cold Temps but for west coast winter so far are great and the touchscreen works but glove is just a bit bulky to allow for great control of a device if screen is smaller .. the reflective parts of glove are very effective I like that as biking in rain and dark more visibility is allways appreciated I commute to work via bike and mtb on my weekends so live on my bike

I decided to get off the stationary bike and get some fresh air. The gloves are comfy and kept my hands warm at 20 degrees. Sizing at least for me was spot on.
