I have poor circulation in my hands & have struggled to find a glove that could keep my fingers warm during colder rides. I live in the southeastern U.S. where winters are fairly mild, but I chill easily on the bike and often ride with temps in the 30s & 40s. These gloves actually keep my hands comfortably warm on my road bike and are not overly stiff or bulky. I can operate my shifters & brake levers easily. I ordered a small & they fit my hands pretty well. I often have to wear kids' size gloves because I'm pretty petite, but the small is snug enough and I don't feel like there's a lot of extra space. Only time will tell with regard to durability, but I'm very satisfied so far!
These insulated cycling gloves are perfect for temps in the high 30s to low 50s. Keep my fingers and hands toasty warm. They have great dexterity and nice padding. The only thing that doesn’t work well is the touchscreen feature but that feature doesn’t seem to work well with any glove so not a big deal for me. I have large hands and often cannot fit in Pearl iZumi’s gloves but the size chart for these is accurate. It indicated a size large for me and they fit perfectly. Very happy with these.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a new E-bike commuter in Boston and bought these to keep warm on my less than 20min commutes. I have worn these on some of our 30 degree evenings and they do help my hands from completely freezing but my thumbs still get cold. I also got a tear in the lining of my left glove after less than 2 weeks of use. I am hoping Pearl Izumi will provide a replacement. I’m planning on trying the heavier weight and version and lighter weight version for colder/warmer weather. I have pretty small hands but sized up to a medium based on the size chart and other reviewers - they basically fit well. Overall a fine mid range glove so far, but not the best quality for the price.
Must have gloves on or off your bike. Keeps hands warm!
Comfortable/warm gloves. Easy to use for shifting and breaking.
I was so disappointed in these. I tried a medium, which is my normal size in Pearl Izumi gloves, but they were far too snug. Went to another store and tried a large and they barely fit any different. Took them home anyway and tried them on my trainer to see if they'd be comfortable, but it was quickly clear they would not work. They are too snug and bulky and do not provide the necessary airspace to keep your digits warm on cold days. They really need to go back to the drawing board on their sizing. It's as if they didn't take into account that the insulation takes up space. I'm a petite person with a slender hand (size 7. 5) and shorter fingers, but the large left no space anywhere. I'm forced to look at other brands.
These are the warmest gloves when riding in the 35-40 degree range.
Wore these for 4 hours in 35-40 degree weather (half the time spent riding, half the time spent sitting). Very warm, and flexible enough for easy handling of brake levers and shifters, but I wish the wrist was wider so that in the middle of riding, I could take the gloves on and off using either my teeth or just the other hand, rather than needing to stop and put them on! Getting them off not a problem, but I haven't been able to get them back on my hand without stopping.
I recently purchased the men's version of this glove, and found it to be perfect for any bike rides above 35 degrees even though it is rated for 40 degrees plus. It totally blocks the wind and is a lot less stiff feeling than all the other cold weather gloves I've used over the years. I bought these for my wife, and she loves them as well--I also own your Am-Fib bike tights that work just as well as the gloves--great job guys! Jeff Cowell
These gloves run small! I would describe myself as more petite than the average female. I was surprised at how tight these fit. Warm gloves should not be super snug, you need a bit of air for your hands to actually stay warm. Once I got the right size (Men's Medium) I was super stoked. I get cold very easily and these are great in 28-40˚ weather. Anything warmer than that, I suggest a lighter glove.
