To be fair, it's been a mild winter here in the PNW- but these have been great on wet 38F-48F commutes. They deal with sweat/moisture better than many of my other wool/breathable gloves- an hour on the shoe dryer and I've been able to wear them 5 days a week. I have yet to try them close to freezing; anecdata: on long, fast, wet descents - my pointer finger did get a touch cold. I'll try with glove liners next and update (if it ever gets that cold).
This is review 3 of 3 I am submitting for 45NRTH gloves. Again, I have colder hands so gloves are important for me to ride in the cold weather. To recap other 45NRTH gloves that I have - The Risor is a 50'+ glove for me. The Nokken is 40'-55' and the Sturmfist 5 comes in the 30-35' up into the 40s range
This glove has a velcro closure at the wrist to secure it. I am not a fan of velcro, but it works for this glove. The Nokken has just an elastic cuff and the Sturmfist 4 has a drawstring. All have their plusses and minuses. Let me say that 45NRTH obviously tests their products because they do not make stuff that has obvious issues (I have a lot of their gloves and shoes)
This is a pretty warm glove but not quite as warm as the Sturmfist 4. The feel of the fit is awesome, it is a very well made glove. It is nice when you can just forget about your hands being the right temperature. All of the 45NRTH gloves fit together into a system but you can start with one like the Sturmfist 5 and see how far it will work for you in various temperatures
45NRTH products are well thought out and super well made. This glove is ago to for me on colder rides
I'm really happy with these so far. These gloves have great insulation without being too bulky. I also appreciate the extra long cuffs for keeping cold wind off my wrists and arms.
