I'm not in a very cold climate but it has been dipping down into the mid 30's Fahrenheit on my morning 50 minute spirited ride and I've been wearing these. They have been just right! I'll wear them up to about 42 degrees on shorter rides but I think for me they would be too hot on a 1 hour climb at 42 degrees so I wear something a little thinner. They are easy on and easy off, work well enough with drop bars and great with flat bars. Also they have soft spot perfect for wiping snot.

I will ride in the 28F to 35F range during the winter months and haven't had good luck with many of the gloves I've tried. Decided to give Assos a try and these gloves worked rather well. If you're down below 32F, my fingers will eventually get cold (around the 2nd hr). But, these do seem to hold up better than the other gloves I have. Sizing is a smidge smaller than typical. I went according to the sizing chart (L), which is typically what i wear. they fit, but my finger tips touch the end of the glove. I'd say 1/2 size to small for me.
Hands down the best winter sock I've ever used and definitely my new favorite. Always impressed with the quality of Castelli gear. Very comfortable. Definitely provide much more warmth and insulation than a typical cycling sock, but they're still sleek and far from bulky. Thinner than the average cotton crew sock. No bunching up or uncomfortable seams, cozy and breathable. I've used them on several rides longer than 3 hours and they were perfect
