Travis Dumfries,  VA Good Gloves I like the design and the material they are made from. The size was a little tight. I am sure with time they will stretch. I ride in 40 degree weather for about 20 minutes doing 75 mph back and forth to work. My fingers will get a little cold but not painfully cold. The gauntlet could be a little bigger. It is a little too small to shove my leather jacket inside of. I would recommend them to anyone who is not riding in any colder weather than the 40's. The price was very good.

Roger Enumclaw,  WA I like the gloves The quality is as expected from Firstgear. I have used the gloves in the rain and my hands stayed dry and it was really raining a lot. The ride was home was over 50 miles. The gloves have kept my hands warm on the morning commute temperatures down in the high 30s. All in all a good glove at a reasonable price.

Rob Kingston,  WA Medium Weight Glove Typical of this Price I typically wear a medium-sized glove but these fit a little loose with extra room in the fingers and thumb. The thumb has too much room in that I need to get used to them when trying to operate the turn signals. These gloves work as a medium duty glove keeping your hands mostly warm with a slight chill in the low 50's mornings but keeping them from sweating in the 70's afternoons. These gloves provide the warmth and protection I'd expect from this price range but they are not winter gloves and I expected a better fit.

Adam Pittsburgh,  PA Nice gloves These gloves will keep your hands dry and warm. However, if you're riding for several hours, your hands will start to get cold. The size chart said I was a medium, but the large fit better. I like the draw strings on the glove to seal the space between the gloves and your jacket. Draw strings are easy to operate while wearing the gloves.

Randy Batavia,  OH Firstgear - Explorer Gloves for cold weather riding. These are one of the best I have tried yet. Super good fit, easy to move in and a great price. I actually wore 2 pair of regular gloves in the cold and had cold hands. Then wore only these gloves in the same temperature and could not even tell it was cold out. Great gloves, and very comfortable.

TJ Talluto Carson City,  NV Trip Results: 4000 miles in 30 days These were good from 45 degrees all the way up to 80, and kept the rain out nicely. The thickness of the liner and glove are balanced perfectly so that the glove feels neither too thick nor too thin. The contours felt natural and comfortable. Very nice gloves all around, would prefer a version that has velcro cincher, a rain wiper, and bigger clip loops so that they can be secured with a rope lock.

Rick Kinston,  NY Excellent rainy weather gloves I purchased these about 6 months ago after finding out my original "waterproof gloves" were not so waterproof. These gloves fit absolutely amazingly. It's a bit difficult to get to the wrist strap to tighten when both gloves are on, but this is a minor detail. The gloves are completely waterproof, and reasonably warm to about 35deg. I've used them in 4deg. weather and managed ok. The quality of these gloves is amazing for the money. Everyone should own something similar if planning on a wet ride.

Jon belle chasse,  LA liike em but they just dont fit right So, I measured my hands and I’m in between a large and a XL. Bought a large and it almost fits. I can’t really open my hand all the way. So I thought, no problem, I’ll get the XL... well same problem. Cant open my hand enough to feel right working the clutch. It’s kind of warm, used ‘em 1 time in the rain (did not get wet).

Dan Pacifcia,  CA good gloves For something light weight, it keeps your hands warm. This is not good for really cold mornings.

Ethan Albany,  OR Great Buy These gloves are actually waterproof. They also allow a little air to pass through which keeps sweat from building up but, because of this they get a little chilly below 34 degrees F. The Velcro strip on one of the gloves started coming loose so I sewed it on securely and all has been well. This is a good buy don’t pass it up.
