Like every other Pearl Izumi product I've ever purchased, choosing the right size is a crapshoot. I usually wear a size large or extra large glove. I measured my palm according to the instructions in the size chart and was borderline between L and XL, so I ordered the XL. They fit me, but snug. I used them for the first time today with the temperature in the low to mid 30's, and when I stopped during my ride and took them off for a couple of minutes during a stop, they were almost impossible to get back on. If I were to buy them again, I would buy the 2XL. On sale, they are a good value, but not at full msrp.
It is in my experience the best gloves in cold weather for cycling. If needed you can add a hand warmer. I don't like the Velcro system. It sometimes can catch the clothes and hard to adjust when hands are cold. I am medium but it runs tight so better to be with large
Needed some warmer gloves for winter rides here in WY. Normally wear a large - ordered a large but they were too small to wear with thin glove liners. The XLs fit with liners just fine! Are well made and should last a few years!
Windy, mid 30s F, these kept my fingers warm enough except for my thumbs. Thumbs got cold pretty quick. Shifting was also a little tricky with these on a road bike. Bought some bar mitts from somewhere else and that solved the problem, I can wear normal gloves with those as well.
I like these gloves. For my wimpy hands, they are good for riding down to about 10 degrees F with a thin liner underneath. Mine are a large and they are smaller than I expected, thus a liner fitting inside is pretty snug for colds days. Otherwise, they are great gloves!
I tried these as a more shifter-friendly alternative to my usual approach of layering liner gloves with mittens. Each time I've used these my fingers have gotten cold quickly and stayed cold unless the air temperature gets above 40 degrees or so. That's unfortunate since they seemed like a nice solution to difficult (but warm) shifting in mittens.
I rode this morning starting out at 39F (4C) and the gloves were great! They kept my hands far warmer than my traditional winter riding gloves while providing sufficient dexterity to manage my shifters and breaks. After 20 minutes they became a bit too warm at this temp - next time I bring my old gloves along to change into when my hands warm up.
I've tried three other brands of gloves and these are indeed the warmest. However, that doesn't mean they're especially warm in below freezing temperatures, but at 32 deg. F they are OK. Also, they are just a tad small and wish they came in true half sizes. They're a good deal if you can get them on sale.
I had thought about getting a pair of these for years but put it off and kept trying other options. After finally buying a pair and trying them out on several long cold weather rides, I think I have finally found a solution to my winter glove puzzle.
I'm very happy with this addition to my glove collection. I was struggling in temps below 40 degrees and that struggle is over. These do heat up so I tend to save them for flatter land or descending if appropriate and bring lighter gloves for climbing. Also worked great classic xc skiing in temps the high teens. Still feel like I have good finger dexterity for braking/shifting.

Tried a lot of gloves especially during winter ride below 32F ..This serves its purpose to keep your hands warm and comfortable .
This is perfect for road biking that makes it easier for gear control and braking .
Money worth spending ????
These gloves are great for winter biking. I used them down to 18 degrees and they still stayed warm. They are a comfortable fit and easy to brake and shift in. I've used them for aobut 12 rides and they show no signs of wear.
I purchased these gloves in December 2020, have put on over 150 miles in cold rain, snow and driving winds and can say I'm impressed. It may take you some time to get used to the "Lobster configuration" but shifting is easy and grip firm.
