I purchased these gloves to use for bike commuting during the winter in Seattle. While they are a nice thickness for biking when temps get down into the lower 40s, they suffer a critical design flaw that ultimately makes them a bad product. Like many gloves, they are comprised of multiple layers (i.e., membranes). One of the features of these gloves is that they are 'seamless', meaning the fingers don't have seams which are sewn together. It produces a nice fitting and feeling glove. However, the downside of being seamless is that they attempted to keep the various layers/membranes together by bonding them rather than sewing. After the second or third use, the inner membrane separated from the outer membrane, which results in the fingers 'pulling out' of the glove when removing them from my hand. And unlike some other gloves, getting the inner membrane back into the fingers where they belong is very difficult. It makes putting the gloves on twice a day a real chore, as nothing ever lines up correctly, and I've always got 'bags' at the end of most fingertips. I've been putting up with these gloves for months of daily bike commutes now, and they'd be great if it wasn't for this one major design flaw. Unfortunately, I absolutely do not recommend.
I bought these last year for work. I’m an Ironworker so I work outside and needed waterproof liners. These worked GREAT!!! Kept my hands dry but as far as warm I had to use hand warmers. Nonetheless they work! I’m a buying a new pair for the season because finally the ones I have now have a hole in the finger tip (got pinched on some steel) Keeps Water and Snow out!
The gloves felt great but unfortunately they are not waterproof. It took about a half hour forvthe water to get through
Showers Pass makes Crosspoint Waterproof knit gloves in a standard thickness and a lightweight version. While REI's description doesn't specify that they are advertising the Lightweight model, I was surprised to see this on the product labeling. Decent gloves, though buyer beware, during comparison shopping.
I suppose it depends on your definition of waterproof but I would say these are water resistant not proof. I spent only a few hours in light rain handling ropes and climbing gear and they soaked thru pretty quickly. I can’t marine they would be any different on a bike in the rain
Gloves are warm and comfortable. Mostly waterproof, but after wearing in moderate rain for an hour on my bike, they soaked through.
These gloves are good. I thought they ran a tiny bit big for the size. I would have really liked to see touchscreen capability (these do not work on a smartphone). But they are medium warmth (not too hot for cycling), no uncomfortable seams. I like the long collar. I would have shortened the pinky finger a tad (but that is hand specific).
These are awesome gloves for those 40 degree/rainy days. My hands were dry, and warm! And I never say my hands are warm. They allow for wonderful dexterity. I'm purchasing a second pair because these are so great.
I bought these for the 5 Boro bike ride. It rained for entire 40 miles. My hands were warm and dry for entire 3 hours. Temps were in mid 50s. Any warmer and gloves would be too hot to wear for cycling.
I find these gloves to be uncomfortable due to being too tight of fit, and at best they do little or nothing to keep my hands warm. At worst these cause them to be colder than without them perhaps because the tight fit cuts of blood circulation. I do not normally have cold hands. I purchased these in XL and don't have gigantic hands so it is not because I bought them too small either. By comparison I have very lightweight thin and very comfortable gloves sold by R.U. Outside which are adequately warm down to -10F or so as long as I am active while wearing them. They also are fairly waterproof, and were about $25. My fingers got very cold very fast at 30F in these, even while walking. I cannot speak to the waterproofness as I never wore them in wet conditions, but for me at least these are a total bust at a horrible price point, if I am being honest.
