              Don't bother buying these. I biked to work this morning and it was not particularly cold (around 50 degrees) and my hands were just as cold as if I hadn't worn gloves at all. The only thing they did was restrict movement.They were advertised as windproof cold weather gloves...I'm going to return them and try to find something better.

                    Well it was a balmy 35 degrees this morning, perfect to try out the new gloves. Before I got half way through my 2 mile ride to work...my fingers were numb. The gloves seem well designed and they are super cute...but I think they are only good for 'warmer' cooler weather.

                      Good fit, but doesn't keep hands warm when temp hits 40 degrees or lower.

                          Having Raynauds Syndrome, I bought a pair of these gloves thinking they would keep my fingers warm in the cold wind contact and they failed. They are just like wearing any other pair of gloves. I bought a pair of Climitts to protect from the wind and wear the gloves on my hands. With the two, I am good as gold while riding.

                          It wasn't even very cold when I first used them cycling this winter-- above freezing temperature, no rain. I think they made my fingers cold by cutting off the circulation in the tips of my finger or something(and I have small hands with thin fingers). By the time I rode for 20 minutes, my fingers were painfully cold and numb. Just awful. I'm so mad at myself because I lost the receipt. Otherwise, I would return them to rei. I just hate wasting money. so sad. They look deceptively pretty and warm. so sad.
