Brooks  Shield Lobster Gloves 2.0

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these a few years ago at a race because I forgot my gloves at home, and at first the price tag seemed like WAY TO MUCH. I felt like they were expensive. But after a few years and many miles these gloves have withstood the test of time and keep my hands warm, wick sweat away, and dry fast. They have become my go to gloves for everyday in Minnesota winters. The touch friendly thumb and pointer finger make it easy to type with out removing the gloves. Also just a note try to start wearing them before your hands get cold otherwise sometimes it takes a little while to feel warm, but even if it is a very cold day I will wear them like a mitten and disregard the pointer finger unless needed. Great product, great quality

I have been running in upstate NY for years (1 hr north of Albany, NY). Finally, I have found gloves that can keep my hands fine on cold winter days. I have used them when it was < 0F and they have worked for me. In the 20s, my hands are "too warm" with these. In the 10s they are warm enough, and below 10 F, my hands do not freeze and stay ok. I bought a second pair as I rarely find gloves like these... that actually work well in winter.

I've wasted a lot of money on useless running gloves (in terms of warmth). Just test drove these lobsters in low 40°F's/high 30°F's with wind chill and they kept me surprisingly warm considering how thin they are - I actually had to take them off for a bit mid-run! They are a little long in the thumb on me but I think it's because of the unisex sizing. I would consider buying more pairs designed for women if Brooks comes out with them.

Great glove that takes a beating and still provides warmth. After a run I left my gloves on the roof of my car and proceeded to drive off when they promptly blew off into the roadway. A light snowstorm and countless cars then ran over my gloves. I found them later that evening in the street and washed them and they were good to go for my next run. Not sure this your average wear test story but you cant beat their durability!

These are great lightweight but WARM gloves. They are like magic, they work for almost every temperature. Living in central Wisconsin I need gloves for all the temperatures. The only thing I miss is the magnet from version 1. The nose wipe section is nice and having my thumb and pointer finger separated makes me not need to take these gloves off for tasks. Love love love them!

Great lightweight gloves. The fit and feel are amazing. I expected gloves of this weight to not be as warm as they are, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve been wearing them even in temperatures around 15°F. They have a supple feel, and great chamois-like thumbs for the pesky nose that runs as much as I do.

These have become my new favorites. I feel like I've tried every conceivable option for hand wear, and these are now by go-to for temperatures down to about 15 degrees, maybe a bit lower. As noted in another review, everybody is different in that regard, and I might be an outlier, but for me they work nicely even in very cold temperatures. I find these to be surprisingly warm for such a lightweight fabric. For what it's worth, I usually have my index finger in the same part of the glove as the other three. It gets cold otherwise. (If Brooks offered this exact same product in an ordinary mitten, I would definitely buy that instead.) Also, my thumb gets a bit cold. As much as I like these, they could be improved by having thicker fabric or an additional layer for the thumb and possibly the index finger. Any finger that is separated from the others is going to be colder. But I've never seen a mitten design that acknowledges this reality, so it's not a feature I would ever expect.

I prefer these gloves to traditional "mitten" gloves. And I find they pair well over Fusion Midweight Gloves 2.0 to provide protection at lower temperatures. The warmth progresses from Fusion Midweight Gloves to Shield Lobster Gloves 2.0 to Shield Lobster Gloves over Fusion Midweight Gloves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally Lobster gloves are warmer than regular gloves. But these are such a thin material that they are not as warm as even my thinnest gloves. Such a pity as lobster is a good design, but they need to be of a thicker material. My hands absolutely FROZE in these at 35 degrees.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these and have been wearing them on my morning runs for about a week or so. The temperatures have not been too low yet, but they are keeping my hands warm at temps in the 20s and 30s. They are comfortable and easy to slide on and off when needed.
