JUst what you need for riding when it’s cold

These are advertised as being for “winter” riding. Maybe winter in the mid-south, but not in the upper Midwest. That said, the quality is good, and they’re nice looking. Keep hands comfortable when temps are in the 35-45 degree range.

These gloves keep your hands warm above freezing. I haven’t tested them at that temperature, but the indication is good for mid 40 degrees as my hands began to sweat about 50 degrees. The only disadvantage for cycling is that they are balky and make it difficult to select gps and accessory commands.

Excellent. Warm. Good visibility. Good price. Weather not yet cold enough to test under adverse conditions.

To preface this review, I’m a road cyclist and in good weather I ride about 200 miles a week, give or take. In the winter that dropped to 120-150. I ride pre-dawn, so that means temps are consistently in the teens. I did probably 15 rides this winter in single digits, including two 20 mile rides at 3°. I spent the mid to late fall trying to find gloves good enough to keep the wind, created by my speed traveling through the air, at bay while still allowing my hands to operate the brakes and gears. All gloves failed to do this. Mitts that go over the bars (hoods/drops) were the only solution. Don’t waste your money buying gloves if you are committed to riding through the winter. Get big mitts that fit over your handle bars. You can buy them on Amazon. With that in mind, here’s the review of these gloves!
These are pretty good. Not at all waterproof like the billboard across the index finger says. Water resistant for a bit, yes, but they will get soaked and become heavy in any extended moisture contact.
The padding is okay, not the best. The thickness is just on the boarder of being too thick to opperate road bike gear shifters but it does work. And that thickness is what will give you the most resistance fro mthe cold, which on a bike is created by the air flowing over your hand at speed for long periods of time. Again, as said in the preface, no gloves do that well in anything below 35 degrees, these are no exception, but they do a better job than most others I’ve tried.
Straps work good. Not going to be able to look at your watch though. Wipe area is soft. Washed several times, hung dry. Holding up really good. Price is a little high at $25, that is half way to the bar mitts that will actually do what all the cycling gloves claim but fail at, which is keeping your hands warm from the wind you are creating. I do use these under neither the bar mitts in extremely cold temps and the have kept my hands warm on those 20 mile 3 degree rides.
Not sure I’d buy these again knowing what I know now but they have worked given my uses and have held up to constant use all winter. I recommend them but keep in mind that for serious long duration winter riding at speed, these will fail to keep your hands warm by themselves, like all gloves.

These easily match a $90 pair of Craft gloves I had.

Gloves are very warm on cold rides. They are water proof, no leaking on rainy days. Still flexible enough to feel your controlls.
Not quite touch screen compatible, but it could be the specific screen protector on my phone.
The particular pair we received, the right glove had more gel padding than in the left. Not an extreme amount but it is noticeable. The Gel padding in general is real nice and appreciated, just a little odd to ride with different thicknesses when gripping. Would still recommend and buy again when they wear out. Hopefully will receive a more symmetrical pair next time.

I have used the gloves in 0 C (32 F) conditions and I found them to be warm and wind-proof. I expect that I could use them down to -5C (23F) without discomfort. The fit is snug enough that operating gears, and brakes is not an issue. One other cool feature is the ability to use a touch screen such as a phone of other device without removing your glove.

First I will say I’m a hot blood by nature and rarely wear a heavy winter coat and I own 0 sweaters. If I keep my fingers and toes warm, I’m good in almost any condition. These gloves were tried out on a 35 degree day. The 25 mile ride produced cold top third of the fingers. The ends of the fingers became cold within the first 2 miles and remained so for the duration.
Bulky-yes these are really gloves and somewhat bulky. Their saving grace is they have palm padding which provides somewhat of a secure grip on the bars. Dexterity is similar to speaking with a frozen face. From the time you need to shift until you actually shift is delayed by the bulkiness and lack of “feel”, So, if you begin your shift before needed, you may hit it about right.
Velcro that- The wrist section covers nicely up the wrist. Stuffing your jersey sleeve underneath is easy until it isn’t. The first sleeve tucked under the glove is done with the free, non gloved hand, easy peasy. Now with the one glove on, good luck getting the other sleeve under the other glove. It’s much like figuring out the Rubik’s cube puzzle. It can take from one minute up to your entire ride time.
The velcro closures are clumsy and again difficult to adjust with the gloves on.
Protection- These gloves, by themselves do not provide decent protection from the cold given their sheer bulk. 45 degrees is about it. Other, less bulky gloves perform equally as well without the bulk.
Liner- The gloves have an internal fuzzy liner which is not attached to the glove. This is another awkward thing you have to deal with when removing the glove. I guess this is where the saying, “treat it with kid gloves”, came from.
***Separate Liner-By adding a pair of thin liners under the glove, the performance goes down to about 32 degrees. Fingers still get chilly, but not numb. In essence, the product can’t stand until another product is added to it. Disappointing.

I’ve read many reviews that it’s hard to take the gloves off and that the lining moves inside out. There’s a simple solution to that. You need to pinch the tips of the fingers of the glove, when taking them off. Works every time. These are the perfect gloves for cold weather, namely around 8°C and when windy, because they don’t squeeze your fingers and don’t hamper the blood circulation. I highly recommend these gloves. I bought 1 size up, and I’m glad I did because the gloves are a bit on the smaller size, and I don’t like tightly fit gloves.
