Strengths: Nice fit. Lots o' padding.Weaknesses: Not warm. Not water resistant. Not armored. What are they good for?Bottom Line: I bought these thinking they would be a good intermediate cool weather commuting glove. Something for warmer conditions than my Novara Cold Front gloves but a little too cold for my fingerless gloves.
These don't seem to fit any niche. They don't really do anything well. Too warm for warm weather riding, not warm enough for around 40deg...not water repellant. I guess they would keep your hands from getting sunburned. They're going back to REI.

Strengths: Reflective, Wind Protection, Grippy Finger tips(pointer and middle).Weaknesses: Poor placement of padding on palm, wrist fits too bulky even with velco strap in use, as the sizes increase the fingers do not get bigger in diameter the length is all that increases it seems (a slightly looser fit would = better blood circulation = more warmth.Bottom Line: I was expecting a slightly warmer glove, something that could take me down to around 30ºF so I am slightly dissapointed however the snugger fit offsets the gloves inability to accomodate my temperature demands that would only be possible by looser fitting gloves....can't have it all I guess. Overall a good glove, however best if used in temps 35ºF and above. I used the glove today in temps 24ºF -- 27ºF and found my fingertips were really cold at first but once my blood starting flowing about 15 mins into the ride they starting feeling better.

Strengths: Light weight. Does a nice job covering wrists. Warm in cold weather. Provide good grip and feel.Weaknesses: Durability is sub-standard.Bottom Line: The gloves were great until I blew a hole in the palm of one of them after 2 months of nothing more than normal use. I don't mind paying $40 for a pair of gloves, but I would expect them to last.
