Good Autumn/Spring Gloves
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"I have been using these gloves on my daily commute through late Autumn and early Spring but on days below 3 degrees I had to use my winter gloves. These are good at blocking the wind chill and don't have gel pads on the palm which makes them much more comfortable in my opinion. Overall I am very happy with these gloves; to get the final star I would have liked the material to be slightly thicker."

Keep cold hands warm
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Versatile. Bought a size bigger so I could wear liner gloves (merino wool). I wear these on the way to work, then just the gloves, no liner on the way back. Hands nice and warm, with no real build up of sweat. I suffer from ciculation problems, but this combination seems to work down to zero degrees (add wind chill onto this).
I'll wait to see how hard wearing they are."

Great glove with a wide temperature range
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: rain performance
"Sizing on these is a tad on the small side: I have gone on up a size in comparison to Gore's Underglove (and my actually measured hand size) to originally still be able to fit the latter underneath. Whilst this works well, the gloves are still on the rather small side, i.e. not in width in the first place but rather in finger length and especially the one of the thumb. If you are undecided in sizing I'd definitely get the bigger option (in contrast to the Underglove which allows to accommodate better to your hands thanks to its stretchability). Else than that they fit very comfortable and you won't notice you are wearing any at all. This also is due to their pretty thinny material which also allows for a good handlebar grip and has been an important factor to me as I did not want any skiing-like gloves (I am used to ride without gloves in the warmer season).
Thanks to its membrane it works impressively well in quite a wide temperature window. At 10C+ your hands are far off from being toasted and actually already only at a rather moderate warmth level, so that one already doubts their performance in just a minuscule lower temperature. However to your surprise they keep their level of performance down to just over the freezing point. I would recommend Gore's Underglove for even more warmth at temps below say 3C though.
Wind is almost fully blocked out (except for a tiny draft around the thumb) yet they are still able to breathe very well.
They are water repellent and will get you comfortably through light rain, however they are absolutely unable to cope with heavy rain as they will soak themselves full of water within minutes and will likely not dry again over the ride (they dry well though when being washed and off your hands so that they can easily be used again the next day).
Reflectors aid in visibility and safety.
All in all a really great glove which - not at last also in combination with Gore's Underglove - will get you through all 3 (Western European climatic) non-summer seasons. You will need a separate set of rain gloves though if you ride a lot in the rain."

Not over-warm
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Bought as intermediate gloves - with the intention of wearing with under-gloves if it was freezing.
Correct plan. They're OK at wind-protection, but you feel the nip when it's cold worn on their own - and my fingers were damp for some reason.
Good comfort from padding and fit and like the snot strip! - may be the reason for damp fingers!"

best winter glove
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
"I have used this in 5C weather and never felt cold hands. At the same time they do not overheat so sweaty hands are not an issue."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"These gloves are amazing. Perfect fit, reflecting material, thin and comfy against wind and rain at around 4-8° Celsius. At least that was the temperature when I tested them. But I bet they can even protect against cold during colder temperatures. I should mention that I tend to get cold hands typically, so I am really amazed about these protective gloves."

Excelentes guantes para temperaturas entre 10-20ºC
Pros: Atractivo, Cómodo, Alta calidad, Ligereza, Buen ajuste
Cons: Caro, Colores limitados
"Compré estos guantes para el invierno, con temperaturas entre 0-10 grados centígrados.
Desde el primer momento me gustaron por su calidad, ligereza, comodidad y ajuste. Antes de probarlos me fijé en que eran algo finos para soportar las temperaturas que tenía en mente. Pero gracias a eso, el manejo de la bicicleta es sencillo ya la mano no pierde tacto ni se vuelve torpe.
Tras más de 30 días de uso diario llego a la conclusión de que son excelentes para temperaturas por encima de 10ºC, pero por debajo de eso no funcionan bien. Hoy he pedaleado a 4ºC, y durante los primeros 20 minutos a una velocidad en torno a 30 km/h, me han dolido las manos de frío. Sobre todo la punta de los dedos que casi no sentía. Consigo controlarlo un poco cerrando totalmente la mano en el puño del manillar, sin llevar ningún dedo en la maneta de freno. Pero definitivamente, al menos para mi calor corporal, estos guantes no son válidos para temperaturas por debajo de los 8ºC.
Estoy pensando en adquirir unos guantes interiores para aguantar la temperatura. Este es el único motivo por el que no le doy 5 estrellas."

Excellent product
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"I've had other so called windproof gloves but as soneone who suffers from the cold, none of them match their claimed insulation properties. This product was different and I've been out in zero temperature without my hands feeling at all cold.
Thoroughly recommented and represents very good value for money."

Great set of gloves!
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
"These gloves are light enough to give great control, but warm enough on their own for most weather. With a set of Gore undergloves they're also fine in sub-zero conditions.
The construction is very strong, and these are a great buy that I'd recommend to anyone,"

Difficult to get on an off."

Great gloves from Gore
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"These are some of the best gloves i have opted for on the bike. Although a little on the pricey side they are very well constructed and very comfy on the bike.
In terms of keeping the fingers warm and avoiding slowly numbing fingers i found it best to go up a size and pair them with gore undergloves which seems to work very well at keeping the cold out. I also rated them and went for them as they did not have velcro on the cuffs - instead opting for a longer cuff which tucks nicely under the sleeve. I find velcro a nuisance as although it may eliminate a few drafts it tends to shred long sleeves and the lining and constantly snags. The addition of well placed padding and lots of reflective material on the back of the hand is another well thought out touch.
Another top class product from Gore and highly recommended!
