Gore Bike Wear Men’s Racing Bike Gloves, Gore Windstopper, POWER WS Gloves, GWPOWE

These gloves are a quality item, however - they're not quite as described. I used these gloves last night for a 50 mile bike ride in heavy rain and wind (over-night ride in September 2016; about 10 degrees C outside), and here's my experience:Cons:* My hands measure 9" round, but I had to order the 11" ones for them to fit comfortably. I think my fingers must be particularly long, because the glove's fingers are still a little too short on the 11" ones.* After an hour or two of constant, heavy rain my hands were soaked through (as was the rest of me!). I have not yet used them in a light shower / drizzle, so I don't know if they're waterproof up to a point.* I can't use the touch screen on my phone whilst I'm wearing the gloves, and they can be a bit awkward to take off + put on again (esp when wet).Pros:* Almost completely windproof. Even though my hands were wet through and wrinkled, I didn't feel the wind at all, and as long as I kept moving, my hands stayed pretty warm.* They are a quality item, made from quality materials. I expect them to last a long time.* When the gloves weren't wet, my hands were toasty warm* They're not overly thick, and I was able to use my gears and brakes without any problemsI was considering returning the gloves as they're not waterproof, but I think they're good enough for light rain (if they're not, I will be returning them!). I have high hopes that they're going to be good winter gloves, to keep out the wind and frost.

Nice gloves but I have a small element of reserve on 5 stars. I've worn them around 10 times and they have done great but on a few of the colder morning commutes my finger tips were feeling the cold. Temp of around 3° with a wind chill added I reckon just above zero.That being said 40 mins in this temp is still very good as I could feel my fingers and no pain etc.The inner glove is fleecy and grippy on the hand. As you sweat a lot it pulls out a bit when removing the gloves. Not so much an annoyance but its worth noting your hands will be wet from sweat.Not a chance to use in the wet yet but I think they will be ok in a shower. Im a big fan of Gore Bike wear and they are very well made and worth the money. Just may not handle as cold as its going to get.......................lets see.Well this is the second season of me wearing them and unfortunately the gloves are starting to break apart. Im disappointed as they were excellent gloves; warm and dry but now they have a large hole developing in the palm that is letting cold air in. (see photo).For a brand like Gore to have a product that falls apart this soon is quite a shame....I will be buying a different brand next - maybe if your a light user they will be better for you as they are warm and dry. I waterproof them with NikWax and they are epic in the rain but like I say maybe they are better for lighter use

These are great gloves. I'm really happy with them. I pondered over if I really wanted to spend £40 on them but glad I did.PROSWarm but not sweaty. I bike in 2c+ so I can't tell you how good these are below freezing but for general cold UK winter weather they held up fine.Well designed - Soft area to wipe your nose is a really good idea - especially when you start to warm up from being cold.Nice Grip - Well placed grip - perfect for bikingNice padding - padding on the palms is a nice extra touchColour - they look great. I went for the red and black.Good Quality - I have been using these for 2 months and not any problemsExtra length - seal well around your wrists to stop those chilly winds getting inCONSSize - They fit me perfectly. I am a large glove and have long fingers. I took the advice on here and went one size up. They are nice a snug but not too tight.I guess you really do get what you pay for...

Only owned 2 weeks but been out in different weather conditions. In not windy condition about 10 degrees these were perfect for someone like me that gets very cold hands. In gale force wind and 10-12 degrees also performed as well in insulating my hands. Almost no difference in the sensation.Found surprising that my hads never overheated when not exposed or on long climbs, as they seem to be very warm gloves.Also used during a walk in very windy condition to test if these would overheat, but no, really good confortable warmth.Would not use in stead of winter gloves in cold weather (5 degrees and below) but that is not what these gloves are for. If you do not suffer at all from cold hands then possibly could get away with it in winter.The size is true agains Gore's own charts.Padding on the palm on contact point was good too. The material is cofortable and soft, especially around the cuffs where it may otherwise chafe or annoy whilst riding.Look wise they are very smart. Would recomend.

Overall, very pleasant gloves. Obviously, they are not waterproof, but what gloves are? They provide good protection from wind in autumn and spring weather.Some cons - they seem a tiny bit small even though I measured my hands and chose the correct size. Maybe my fingers are just a bit too long. Another issue is that if I take them off after riding, it's really hard to get them back on due to sweat making the cloth damp and increasing friction. Not to mention that sticking hands into cold and wet glove feels pretty unpleasant, but that's not exactly the fault of the product.

Decent cycling gloves, for all but the coldest of weather.Having these gloves for the past couple of years for road cycling, i have found them to be generally excellent. However, they are a little dissapointing in winter temperatures, anythingless than 5 degrees and my hands were freezing, throughout the ride. If they are coupled with some liners, then they'd probably be good for any conditions, but for now are generally better suited to mild winter conditions, rather than freezing temperatures.
