I've bought a lot of Pearlizumi products over the years and I'm always impressed with the quality, fit and value. These gloves are very comfortable and keep my hands warm on cooler, windy days that require a full finger glove. These gloves are not a great choice if you're going to be out when the temps are lower than 35ish as there's no insulation. That's not a bad thing as my hands don't get sweaty with these gloves. I normally wear a Large and these gloves seem a little roomy, maybe I could have gotten away with a medium. I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend these to anyone looking for a lightweight full-finger glove
I use this for gravel and road riding. The glove is relatively thin, but still surprisingly warm. I'm comfortable down to around 40 degrees, and have ridden as low as 31, where my fingers did get a bit cold. They seem like they'd be water resistant, although haven't ridden them in rain yet, just heavy fog. The touch-sensitive fingertips work with my iPhone. My biggest complaint is where the fabric all meets at the base of the forefinger on both hands, the junction inside winds up rubbing my skin raw after a couple hours of gravel riding, as it sits between the hand and brake lever. If that junction was 1/4" higher up on the hand towards the knuckles, that wouldn't be an issue.
I wear these daily November through March. They keep my fingers comfy.
Glove works well down to 40 degrees could go lower with a thin liner glove if you can find one to fit. Used on several rides that started out in the upper 30's and eventually got into the lower 50's. Fingers were a little cold to start, as temperature climbed into the 40's hands were perfect and did not overheat even into the mid 50's.
Motorists need to see us to avoid is and these yellow gloves are one way to be more visible, and most likely a little safer. The bright color was my first criteria for full finger gloves. They are also comfortable and wind resistant. I sized up so I can wear thin liners inside them in cool weather, or alone in warm weather. They get the job done.
Even though I always buy XL gloves, these fit really snug and I have a hard time getting them off. They also have extra long cuffs, which are a bother since I have to maneuver them under my jacket sleeves. Not very warm either!
Great gloves. I bought a black and large. Gloves look awesome. Perfect for even the the coldest days in the MidSouth US.
Great for those cool to chilly days especially if it could sprinkle.
These gloves are excellent for cool-weather cycling. The gel padding is in all the right places and the bright color makes them very visible to motorists when I'm signaling to turn. I don't even have to take them off to check my smartphone or fitness tracker.
Riding bike when it's below 40 degrees provides great content and control also has a finger that will let you operate Gramin computer.Ran
Full fingered gloves that really don't have any benefit. They aren't insulated and they soak thru in rain. They don't have a liner, so you feel every seem. Bought a pair, used them only a handful of times and now they just sit in the drawer. They might be okay if you wear a second set of knit gloves underneath and a third set of nitrile over the gloves.
I have self-reported large hands and these gloves have a bit of extra to them. A medium may be too tight, though.
I like these gloves as I enter spring riding and leave my Pearl Izumi Am Fib gloves to be stored away for next winter!
I live in area with light mild winter temps and need a full-finger glove to give warmth and wind block. I have tendency to cold handfingers. And this Pearl Izumi glove does the job well for me - while giving enough dexterity for brakes shifters, the wind is fended off well, and temps in 30-40s become ok. Too early to tell about durability. Not as effective as comparably priced Gore Windstopper, so 4-star not 5-star... Otherwise perfectly acceptable!
OK, I didn't purchase these cycling gloves for use while riding my bike. I bought them for everyday use because previous Pearl Izumi cycling gloves proved to be AWESOME as everyday gloves. The benefits of these gloves are the conductive thumb and index finger for touch screens and grippy material on middle and index fingers. They allow for great dexterity, though I wish the grippy rubber was on both the index and thumbs to help with important tasks (specifically, opening dog waste bags). One goodbad characteristic is that they are very long, which is great I suppose if used for cycling, to be sure they left no bare skin on your wrist when you are extended on the hoods of handlebars. But just for wearing everyday, they're a bit long and quite challenging to put on.
They would be ok in freezing or below temps if you can put your hands in your pockets occasionally, but of course, this wouldn't be the case if used for cycling. The price was right from TBD, so I'm still glad I got them.
A great product but not a cold weather glove.....nice bright color provides visibility.
I live in Southern California. These gloves don't keep my hands warm. 40 deg and hands are freezing.
These gloves are only good for weather in the 40s. If your hands tend to be on the colder side more frequently, than definitely not worth a hoot under 40 and barely worth it for the low 40s.
So far the gloves have been quite satisfactory in temperatures down to the 30's without much discomfort. They have handled damp weather well but I have yet to test them in the rain.
Work fine with my Garmin. Washed them by hand in cold water and Woolite The black ran into the yellow disfiguring the glove. PearlIzumi is sending my another pair.
