Great down to about 45 degrees
When picking these gloves I read a ton a reviews that said they were warm, cold, and everything in between, so I thought I'd add my experience. Across the board they do a great job blocking wind, and made early morning rides much more bearable. The padding is comfortable, and they fit true to size. 55-60+ degrees these are hot once you get your heartrate up. From about 45-55 they are extremely comfortable. Down closer to 45 your finger tips will get cold, especially in the beginning of the ride. Once you get down to about 40 degrees, they are still warmer than nothing but my fingers tips all went numb even at the peak exertion point of my ride. So I'd say about 45 is the lowest I'd go and expect to be fully comfortable.
Warm and Good Fit
Just finished a ride in 40 degrees with wind and damp. Fingers stayed comfortable and the padding was good for over an hour. Was able to use my phone and GPS touch screen. I usually get XL gloves from PI and these fit as I expected. Padding is a little less than the super nice gel padding PI has put out but was good. The back of my hand and top of my fingers were all warm. Oddly, the inside of my thumb was a little chilly near the end when I was riding on my hoods or aero bars. Fine if they were tucked in.
Fine when it's dry; completely unsuited for rain
I've been happy with these while our late summer / early winter season stayed dry -- but rain really brings out the worst in these gloves. They wick water up and hold it next to the wearer's skin; after a long enough ride this happens even in heavy mist / very light rain. At first I thought I didn't pay attention at purchase time -- but no, they're described as having "3-layer construction to provide both wind and water protection". They're still in visibly great condition after three months of wear -- but I wanted gloves I could wear into the winter, and these weren't the right choice.
I am returning mine
I have owned every generation of Cyclone gloves. Liked 'em all - mostly for Fall conditions. These are the worst gloves I have ever tried on. Dozens of tiny sharp pokey things hurt my hands just putting them on. Seems like the stitching was cut to expose the sharp end of every nylon thread. They are so bad that I submitted a warranty claim to Pearl Izumi - instead of returning to REI. I thought Pearl would want to know about this and see the gloves for themselves. I don't know if it's a defect or a design flaw. Pearl Izumi seemed uninterested. They ignored my email for two months, but did respond to my second email. They wanted me to take pictures. Of the inside of the gloves? I'm going back to Gore gloves. They always feel great.
Good for cool weather
This isn't for extreme conditions - down below the 40's or in wet conditions I'd look for something else. But they're a welcome addition for dry, cool rides in the 40's and 50's, giving me the chance to ride on some days when I'd have been miserable without the extra coverage. I was worried about my hands getting sweaty as the day warms up, but this hasn't been an issue. A little extra padding would be nice to have, but I haven't had any problems with the padding as is. The touchscreen capable fingertip is helpful for checking your phone during the ride. Very pleased with this purchase.
Just ok. Not very comfortable.
The material feels kind of rough and crunchy. The pads are too small, and the gloves feel lumpy, at best, and painful, at worst. They are warm enough down to about 35°F. Below that and my fingertips start to get numb.
Not awful, but hardly great
I've owned 2 pairs over the years; ridden ~10,000 miles on each. Both bought when I needed something *now* and couldn't shop around. PI has improved it over the yrs, but the product remains meh. The baggy, non-stretchy fabric doesn't give a confidence-inspiring grip on the bars. Also, stitching comes loose fast, and they're not as warm as you'd think given the heft. I'm not a fan of the chunky gel blobs, but that's a personal pref. True, It is absolutely windproof! Before getting a 3rd pair I was set on finding something better. For me, Gore's windstopper thermo were the ticket. Less warm but vy grippy and totally windproof. If I need more warmth I'll add a thin liner.
Highly recommended/
I really love these. They are warmer than any other winter gloves I've owned because of the longer wrist covering. And they allow me to access mobile devices without taking them of.
Good for cool but not freezing weather.
I bought these and ended up returning them because they weren’t as insulated as I was looking for. I tried them for a dozen or so rides and, like others say, these are good to the high 30s/low 40s. They are very grippy and good gloves, and if my other gloves didn’t overlap with these I likely would have kept them.
OK for mild conditions
Definitely wind proof, but not much insulation, so my hands still get cold in milder temperatures.
