winter gloves
I read a lot of recommendations about winter gloves - what to have, what not to have.
I've found these gloves to be all they claim to be & then some. Warm, durable, flexible - in short, really good gloves.
I'd suggest anyone who's never bought gloves & doesn't know what to do to get these. They’re really great.
I've suggested 2 of my sons to get a pair of them, too

These are great for casual riding in moderate to cool temperatures. Not made for really cold or warm weather.

Almost warm enough!
These gloves are good. They have the most Thinsulate of any gloves I could fine. And they do a pretty good job of keeping my hands from freezing in this high 30s, low 40s weather we've been having in the Pacific Northwest. I wish the gauntlets were a little bit longer but they do stay above my jacket sleeve so that's really long enough. And I do wish they kept my hands even warmer than they do. I do tend to get cold easily so maybe they are perfect for most people. I think these are perfect for high 40s, low 50s, about 10 degrees warmer than I have been riding in.

Olympia 4650 Ultima I Gloves
The gloves fit true to size. I've used them on 70 mile rides in 50 degree temperature. Gloves were toasty. Can't wait for real winter when I can test their warmth in 30 degree weather. I've had them for only a month, so I can't attest to their durability, but construction seems high quality.

Olympia 4650 Ultima I gloves
I read a couple of other reviews on these gloves and bought a size smaller than I normally take. I bought them in Medium size and they fit great! I've used them in 30* temps and they did an excellent job of keeping my hands comfortable and warm. They seem to be made of excellent materials and kept any rain from penetrating through the outer leather layer. The only downside I can think of is that they are a little bulky and dexterity isn't that great. I give them 4 out of 5 stars!

These gloves are great for cold weather riding--I've ridden down to the high 30's and haven't had any cold finger problems. Just wish they were made a little bigger in the XL size to allow a thicker liner.

For the price...
I have been using these for the past year in harsh weather, and have been pretty satisfied with them. My biggest complaints would be the tendency to get damp easily, and their inability to provide wind protection. I ride some mornings in 30 degree weather, and moving 60-75 mph, the wind chill is insane! I know I have sort of high expectations out of cheaper gloves, but just a fair warning to anyone looking for a glove that holds up well in rain or wind: this isn't your best bet. For the cost, it's a good colder weather glove, far better than a summer glove, but not very well suited to extreme cold or wet weather.

Gonna Need A Bigger Hand!
I was looking for a glove that would get me to work in 35 degree weather without getting frostbite. Saw the reviews on this glove and thought it would do the trick. It does...but that's the good news. The bad news is that these gloves are sized way out of the park! I have big hands and after reading the reviews as to they were too big for the size ordered, I went down from my usual Large to Medium. Guess what...? They're still too large! I believe I would do well with a small! Outside of that, the gloves work great! Keep my hands toasty all the way to work. If they only fit!

Olympia - 4650 Ultima Gloves
The gloves fit well. They do run a bit large in size. The feeling is reduced due to padding. Riding a cruiser with no hand guards the fingers get a bit cool. Could have better insulating in the fingers but the gloves perform well. These are good autumn early winter gloves. For real cold weather you need to look for a different glove. Value is good.

Take Care With Sizing
The gloves were a little large compared to other manufacturer’s sizing charts. This is to be expected from any type of gloves. I sold the gloves to a co-rider and will be ordering the mediums early this next fall. The gloves are the only ones I have owned that actually kept my hands from numbing up in cold weather.

Good fit. Great value. Have used gloves in 40 degree weather and they perform well. Good fit and flexible.

Great Gloves
Great gloves for the cold weather, very flexible. Lost my last pair and went and bought another pair. Had the others over 3 years and over 50,000 miles. They were good as new when I lost them. Not waterproof, none of them are, but keeps your hands nice and warm.

A good glove for 50 degrees
It is very well made, nice leather. Don't plan on riding in them below 50 degrees, though. And, of course, you don't get a very good feel of the controls.
