To this:
So my old 99-cent ebay special winter cannondale gloves have seen their last days of riding. They were great gloves and really kept my hands warm for a long time but my fingers slowly started poking out the ends and they really weren't functional anymore. So time to find new ones and a trip to the bike shop to see what was available.
There were 2 options but these seemed the most extreme so I got them. I wanted something that would keep my hands warm on road rides to at least 25 *. Picked these out and then proceeded to take them out and test them the following day on a 5 hr road ride in 30* temps. Here's what I gathered:
Cons:
Cuff comes a long ways up the arm-couldn't really check watch
Kinda bulky-hard to feel the shifters on the road bike and distinguish between the levers
No terry cloth for the snot rockets, but the neoprene is kinda soft
Pros:
Kept my hands warm
Kept my hands warm
Kept my hands warm
I'd recommend these gloves to anyone who wants to ride outside in below freezing temps. They did great for being on a road ride and its nice to have the separate fingers instead of lobsters or mittens. I'm sure there may be others out there but these are what i'll be using till they fall apart.
