        Comments about Novara Headwind Bike Gloves - Men's:

        I like these gloves. They're good in the cold, but add a winter PNW rain to that and they soak up water like a sponge. That's why I can't rate them any higher.

        The cuffs are snug-fitting which makes them warm and easy to slip up the sleeves of my jacket, but I can't wear my watch with these gloves. If rain or snow isn't too much of a problem where you live, these could be really good winter gloves.

        Sure the fabric is windproof. However, the seams are not. Regrettably each glove finger has a full length seam. I cannot recommend these gloves.

        Terrible Product

          Best Uses

            Comments about Novara Headwind Bike Gloves - Men's:

            I have purchased a lot of different cycling gloves over the years and I also take a large. If I want to wear a thin glove underneath to keep warm, I use and extra large glove. These "XL" gloves arrived today and they will be going back first thing tommorrow. I could hardly get the gloves on - they are at least a size too small. The price was good so against my better judgement I took a chance. Won't do that again.

              Gloves do a terrible job of keeping fingers warm during winter commutes in Denver. Pinky and ring finger are almost numb after a 20 min bike in <30 degree weather.

                Fit well. Look real nice and their quality is just as good. Catch myself wearing them even when I drive on really cold mornings. Front side is completely wind proof, while palm side is nice and padded.

                  Wore them for the first time on a bike commute in mid-40s temperature. My hands were freezing. Will return.

                    Wore them for the first time on a morning commute with temperature in the mid 40s, and my hands were freezing! No protection whatsoever. These gloves get an 'F' from me. Will return them this weekend.
