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.
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.
The product is well made and fits true (bought Large for 6'3", 165lb rider). Previous generations of this product had zippers at the ankles, which I like because they enabled easier on/off of the tights especially when wearing heavier winter cycling socks. My first experience with the laser cut shoulder straps, so will have to see what the durability is after months of heavy use. I have successfully used previous generations of this product for years in all kinds of challenging winter conditions, including 20-55deg F and high mountain ascents/descents in the Rockies, Sierras, Alps and Dolomites.
