Excellent Gloves,
By
This review is from: Gore Bike Wear Radiator II Glove (Apparel)
I've been using these gloves for commuting for the past two winter seasons in Lansing, MI. My winter commute is about 20-30 minutes long and runs east-west, so if there isn't a headwind on the way *out*, there will be a headwind on the way *back*. Being a farming area, there isn't a whole lot to block the wind during the winter, so I need super-warm gloves.
First, what these gloves are not: Super-thick gloves to be used while standing around idly. These won't keep your hands warm in the car, at the bus stop, etc. However, they *will* keep the wind out absolutely perfect, and are pretty well insulated. There have been extremely, extremely few occasions when my hands were cold with these gloves on, and it always involves an extremely strong, constant headwind where the temperature is in the 0-5°F range before taking wind-chill into account. I don't wear these gloves if it's above 40°F, because they're simply too warm. I like to be cool, and hate to be cold. Above 45° and I put on some long-finger gloves (Pearl iZUMi Cyclone Glove), and I'm fine. I also own a pair of Pearl iZUMi Barrier Cycling Glove gloves, which *are* warmer than these. However, I've never had to get them out for a ride. I wear the Izumi Barrier gloves if I'm going to be out shoveling, or if I go out in the car, because my body isn't generating any heat, and stopping the wind doesn't do anything because there is none. With regard to sizing, I would recommend ordering up at least a size from what you normally order. For reference, I fit Louis Garneau medium-size summer gloves (discontinued; Amazon doesn't sell the same pair), Large Gore Bike Wear Xenon Glove, and XL Gore Bike Wear Radiator II Glove. I read on another review site about the liners pulling out -- I haven't had that problem. If you get them too small, I suppose that could be a problem, but I'm pretty sure the liners are sewed in place, even at the tips of the fingers.

Not very warm and not durable,
By Lupe (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gore Bike Wear Radiator II Glove (Apparel)
These are quite warm and windproof for their weight and lack of bulk. They aren't explicitly waterproof, but water mostly beads on the backs, and they are very breathable. But they really bottom-out at about 35 degrees - Just not enough insulation for real winter riding. And they are too warm to wear above about 45. So, they are pretty expensive considering the narrow useful range. Additionally, I have gone through two pairs of these with the seams coming apart after only a few months of use commuting. Gore has been great about replacing them, but it's not worth the trouble and shipping expense.

This review is from: Gore Bike Wear Radiator II Glove (Apparel)
I love Gore Bike Wear. I own two jackets, a vest, and a windstopper skullcap, so I chose their gloves over Pearl Izumis for my girlfriend.
On a very cold day, her fingers were chilled while mine, wearing Specialized (gloves with inserts) were toasty. Otherwise, they have worked well - and she even uses them for cold morning dog walks and shoveling snow with no problem. All in all, they do the job in most "rideable" cold weather situations. 2115|R25NBX0LOA9UQC;2115|R3N5JTLWFX3TR8;2115|RZIRREGP5E0XF;
