Great warm gloves but just a bit bulky when trying to unzip my jacket otherwise very nice
I live in Southern California and some Fall mornings are quite cold. I bought these hoping to keep my hands warm in the 30 degree morning rides. I am pleasantly surprised!
Not too bulky and allows easy mechanical and Di2 shifting.
Warm, well made winter gloves, have used in temps down to 25F. Fit as expected, excellent grip, comfy for long cold rides.
Gloves fit size was same as my summer gloves. Works great all the way down to 10F. Padding on the lower outside palm keeps the vibrations down. Windstopper is a must in cold weather, and these gloves have been great! Worth every dollar!
Having done several rides that started in 18F and ended in the high 20s, these gloves will keep you warm. Does a wonderful job of keeping the winds in check. After 5 miles any sweat from your hands are wisks away keeping your hands dry. I got a medium. It is snug to the fit and the overall size is bulky but flexible enough that I never lost any feel for the brakes even on the drop.
My hands are always cold so its hard to find the perfect winter riding glove. I dont like lobster claws and these work reasonably well for me down to about 30 - or lower if the ride is not too long. I ordered a size up and wear silk liners. That is the best combo for warmth and dexterity that I have found These are my second pair.
These gloves have it all including some flashy nomenclature. Excellent insulation. Gore's liner works great are keeping the elements at bay too.
I use these gloves when I ride outside between 32 and 45 degrees. I really like them
I sent these back as I do not plan to ride very much in extremely cold conditions, but if I did these would be the gloves to use.
I use these gloves for cold weather road cycling. I thought they would be a little warmer than they are but overall I am happy with them. My fingers get a little cold when the temps get close to freezing and riding at a moderate pace. They gloves should be fine for just below freezing if you are riding hard and exerting yourself. For me, I consider the temperature range on these gloves from 32f to 45 for normal riding. These gloves are really comfortable and have good grip. The velcro cuff is nice as well. I dinged them one star for not being warm enough.
Most cold weather gloves are very bulky and the colder it gets the grip gets worse. These have neither of those problems. Highly recommend them, be careful on sizing, they run small
I love them thick warm supple and very comfortable! I ride with a death grip on my handlebars and these do me nicely comfort in the cold without Popsicle fingers!
They hold the heat in 35 degrees....wind chill probably 25. They are a bit bulky but definitely sufficient for touching brake and shifting controls. Worth the trade off for comfort and warmth.
I bought these gloves for winter commuting in Chicago. I have worn then down to the lower teens, very comfortable and warm. They are bit pricey but they are the right balance between warmth and bulk, they are very light and have good grip. The extended cuff works great keeping wind out of my sleeves. Definitely wind proof, plenty of Chicago wind to test that.
The only thing I would like to see improved is to make the fingertips compatible with touchscreens.
These gloves are perfect. Not too hot, but very warm on the freezing mornings. Easy on and off.best winter gloves I have had.
If I had a nickle for every pair of gloves I've purchased I'd be rich! I struggle finding full-fingered gloves that fit - sometimes the fingers in the womens gloves aren't long enough. And I struggle finding gloves that keep my hands warm in the 30-40 deg temps (I have heated gloves for colder than 30 deg). I was wearing a pair of Castelli Womens cw 4.0 Donna gloves however they're no longer being made. The gloves fit, well, like a glove. Castelli tends to run small so in a womens glove I order a large. And sometimes in womens gloves they're wimpy, as if women won't ride when it's cold so sometimes I'll order mens gloves. Based on the sizing charts and comments that the Estremo gloves run small, along with Castelli's trend to run small, I decided to go with a mens medium and the fit was perfect. However, there were a couple of features I didn't care for, hence, only a 3-star rating. The finger length is spot on however there's probably a 12 of insulation at the fingertip ends so getting that finger feel is missing. It's also awkward getting them closed at the wrist and underneath the jacket cuff. The cuff is a very tight fit so not much if anything fits underneath it. Plus the loftiness at the end of the fingertips makes for a time-consuming closure. The gloves are warm, no doubt, and I do plan to wear them but they won't be my go-to when the temps are in the mid-30s.
Ive used these on three, 3-hour rides in temps from 25-45F and they have worked perfectly. Not too bulky for di2 shifting, and plenty warm. Very grippy palms and fingers. Great balance between insulation and breathability. Not touchscreen compatible. Sizing runs true.
Really warm gloves for how thin they are. I ordered my standard size and they fit perfectly. A couple of damp rides in the low 40's and these performed flawlessly. Up into the low 50's they get really warm however. The only downside is how tacky they are against my lizard skins dsp tape. Sliding your hands is a no go, you need to release your grip completely in order to reposition.
...for wet temperatures in high 30's or low 40's degrees. Hands stayed dry but wish they were warmer. I guess that's the trade off with more dexterity in the fingers.
