I've tried a handful of different gloves at different price points and this is a solid mid-range glove for mild winter conditions. My fingers run cold and I find them comfortable down to about the low 40s. It uses a neoprene-like material which is reasonably weatherproof and provides light insulation, but doesn't have a separate insulating layer. It uses a two piece sandwich construction so the seams fall kind of awkwardly at your finger tips and between your fingers where they touch (as opposed to the 3+ piece construction that higher-end gloves have). It also uses some sort of layer bonded directly to the fabric for touch-screen compatibility which is less durable than conductive fabric used in higher end gloves. That said, it's a solid glove for the price and performs reasonably well, but don't expect premium construction and materials.
I use these for cooler days and couldn't be more pleased. The sizing I can always depend on with Assos unlike other competitors. The chamois is high quality even for long rides. If the temperature rises some they aren't so warm that they are uncomfortable. Priced similar to other quality products and Bike Tire is always easy to deal with. Very pleased.
As soon as I slipped these socks on, I knew I'd love them. The fit is perfect. I originally bought them for cycling, but now I wear them to work too. I walk about 5'6 miles a day in steel-toe boots, and these socks handle it with no issues. Comfortable and durable!
If the shoe fits it's the best shoe. Shimano S-Phyre shoes have been the most comfortable shoes I've worn. It was Giro and before that Soecialized. But hands down s-phyres are my favorites.
That said each generation from SC-9 to 902 to now 903 has become more minimalist and a little less cush. The 903's are very spartan. The uppers feel very light weight and lack the softness of the prior generations. There is a break in / get to know you period with the 903's that I never had with the sc-9's.
But after a few weeks of tweaks they are starting to feel like the high performance kit additions they were designed for.
One 903 highlight is the heel stability. You feel locked in more than other versions. Boas are good. Toe box is ample but I have low volume feet anyway.
If you're looking for the out of the box slipper comfort of the sc-9's it's gone. If you're looking for the next iteration of the best shoe on the market 903's will be great.
