Comments about Novara Arosa Bike Gloves - Women's:

These gloves have a tight fit, but the fingers are the right length. If you're looking for gloves that can be worn over liners these are probably too tight. I purchased Large, which is my usual size. I find then to be warm enough for 2-hour rides down to about 45-50 degrees F, at an average speed of about 10 mph. I the fact that they're not bulky and my hands don't get too hot when it warms up. The only change I would make is to have a cuff opening with Velcro so they're easier to get on and off.

Comments about Novara Arosa Bike Gloves - Women's:

Please note that the fit of these gloves is *very* tight. I have small hands (ring size 4), and it takes a bit of work to squeeze my hands into a size small. Part of this is due to the elastic cuff that does not have a rip/stick adjustable closure. But, they do fit, um, like a glove.

I had hoped to use these in 50-60 degree weather, without rain, but found them to be too light and breathable for that. I can feel the wind blowing through when riding at about 13 mph, which reduced the temperature by at least 10 degrees with the wind-chill generated by riding.

They are best used for weather 60-70 degrees, and at those temperatures, light showers are not a problem. I wear these on late morning bike rides which start out at about 60 degrees then warm up to about 70 without getting too warm.

The padding is rather light/thin and does not cover a large area of the palm (compared to Pearl Izumi gloves with extra padding). I no longer use traditional racing handlebars (for which I used the heavy-duty PI gloves), so I cannot tell if that would be a problem for those who do.

And for those whose eyes water or nose runs, the cloth portion designed for that purpose is neither particularly soft nor absorbent. Also, the material covering the palm runs alongside the index finger, making it difficult to use as a back-up or alternative wipe.
