I've tried every winter cycling glove, ski gloves, in various combination. It gets cold here in January (it's 14 F outside right now). My coldest rides have been in the single digits (temperature, not "wind chill").
At this point in my life the Pearl Izumi Amfib Lobster gloves work down to 35 F. I add silk liner gloves and a disposable hand warmer per glove. There's room enough for my hands and all that. Yes, it's a bit clumsy compared to summer fingerless gloves, but if you're going to ride in the cold, go with these.
I have no opinion on their usefulness in cold, wet weather riding. I'm not insane.
FWIW, I splurged on a pair of Assos lobsters a while ago and the finger cutout was too deep and dug into the web between my fingers. These don't do that.
Highly recommended.
The fit and finish are quite good, this is a very well made garment. I'm a slim build, 183 centimeters, 70 kilos, size medium.
In comparing these recently purchased (2025) PRO bibs to the PRO bibs I purchased in late 2023, I feel this newer chamois under delivers in comfort. On rides exceeding 6 hours, my "butt-o-meter" says this triple-density Levitate chamois is good for ~130 kilometers. The older pad is still more comfortable at 160+ kilometers.
I can't say with any certainty but perhaps there's been a change in pad design/material???
Pearl Izumi, please revise your Pro chamois.
Great cyclng pants, Very comfortable, warm and look good after a mountain bike ride to get some food and a beer! Outside they repel some water, block the wind. Inside the fleece is warm and comfortable. The semi belt has a good fastener, but I wish the belt strap went all the way around the waist, It doesn't, it is sewn into the waist of the pants. The lower legs have a zipper up the side for easier putting on, although it could be a wider opening when unzipped, there is fabric behind the zipper, which is Great! The only con is the Belt should go all the way around the waist. Overall I love these pants! I bought a second pair after my first purchase. true fit to size. I'm 5'9" 170# 32" waist 32" inseam.
I'm prone to feeling cold all the time, and winter riding is challenge. At age 80, I'm not generating the wattage to keep me warm. This jersey is a good insulator. I'm 6' tall, 155#. A size MEDIUM from Pearl fits me perfectly. Room for a base layer under it. Sleeve length and body length are ample without excess. I usually wear a wind jacket over it,so the HI VIS yellow doesn't show when it counts, but I like the color. I show up well when we stop for coffee.
