These gauntlet gloves are designed for winter MTB or road riding and offer windproof, moisture-managing comfort and performance. Windproof VAPEX® outer shell lets moisture escape to keep you dry. Ultra-soft liner wicks moisture away from your skin to keep your hands dry and comfortable. Water-resistant Jupiter palm provides a positive grip, even when wet. Terrycloth-covered thumb and index finger mops up moisture. Machine washable. Closeout.

Strengths: Comfort, Warmth, Price
Weaknesses: Lack the thicker palm padding of AXO Defender & Descend
Bottom Line:
So far these gloves rock-I've had them for multiple 2 hour rides as low as 20 degrees. They come with lycra-poly inner liners that velcro into the wrist area. You don't have to wear them until it gets pretty chilly. On 30 degree days my hands sweat with these on, so I'm looking forward to testing them throughout a New England winter! I only wish they had the heavy palm-padding that my Axo Defender gloves do...
