This picture was taken in a dark room.
I’ve been in need of a pair of cool-weather road gloves for awhile. When I was at Performance to get my new thermal tights, I spied these on the glove rack and thought they might be just the ticket.
The good: the overall fit is excellent, the grippy overlays on the fingers and thumb are a nice touch, they have good dexterity, and I can use my phone without taking them off. The snot wipe on the thumb (a must!) is big and soft.
The not so good: they’re from the same series as the tights, but aren’t nearly as warm. I’d say they’re only good down to about the mid-30s. PI seems to have lost their usual attention to detail with the thumbs, which are awkwardly square at the tips. And I’m not a huge fan of the color, but that’s mostly down to me being impatient, and just buying what was on the rack, instead of ordering some.
I’ve used them on a few rides (and to shovel snow a couple times), and have found them comfortable and effective at blocking wind. They could stand to have a touch more insulation against colder temperatures, but they beat the heck out of my leather MTB gloves, for chilly road rides!
