Giro100 Proof Glove(Return to Product Page)

I found that the sizing is a little small-order up a size. They work great, my hands are warm. But if your hands sweat and you take the gloves off, it is very hard to put them on again-the inner liner is sticky.

I wear the gloves to ride when it's too cold for regular four-finger gloves. They worked as I had hoped-kept my hands warm (even sweaty) when regular thermal gloves weren't sufficient.

The lobster gloves I've had in the past were a different brand and they've been the only gloves that kept my hands warm so I was excited to replace them. They were too large and bulky, though.

Just rode with these in 29F temps and was almost too warm. There is a bit of a moisture buildup problem, but I'm not sure that any single glove can handle sweat buildup and be so warm. Not having had lobster claw gloves before, I'm not sure about the single index finger design, but I did notice my index finger wasn't as warm as the rest of my hand (but NOT cold). I'd also add a reflective outer shell, because it is lacking in reflectivity for commuting.

Not as warm as Castelli Espresso gloves. Not very flexible either. Wore them once at about 35F and never wore them again. One size up might have made them more brake lever friendly but it is hard to see how that would help with warmth. Gordini cross country ski mittens work 15degrees colder that the Espressos, and the Espressos work at least 5 degrees colder than these.

I was a commuter, 15 miles each way. Now I do a single ride 2 or 3 hours a day all temperatures which here means a low of about 14F = -10C

I purchased these to use for my winter bicycle rides (about 30 miles). I'd tried other winter gloves, which didn't keep my hands warm, and, based on the product description for these gloves, I thought they'd solve the problem. They didn't. In addition to not keeping my thumb and index finger warm when the temperature was 40 degrees or less, the design and bulk made shifting gears and applying brakes difficult and imprecise, if not dangerous.

I use these in our super cold Canadian winters (23 F or colder) and these still manage to do the trick with keeping my hands warm. It's important to have warm hands when you first put them on, and try to not take them off during your ride as you'll lose all your heat.

Incredible gloves!

These gloves are very warm. But, with Di2 shifting it was impossible to move my fingers without accidentally shifting either or both levers. Out of habit, I would try to wrap my fingers around the hoods and, with some regularity, the thickness of the fingers would cause me to press the small shift lever on both sides. I only rode with them once and that was enough. They might work better if I drug out one of my older bikes with different shifters.

Warmth is very good. With three fingers together things stay toasty. I had trouble adapting to using these gloves with Di2 as I usually shift with my index finger and now only the first finger is independent but you get used to it. Also it takes a while to get used to wrapping your hands around the hoods with these. Overall they seem good quality and are quite warm. Sizing seems accurate to other Giro gloves I've used.

Toasty with room for a hand warmer, too. Good down to 30F at least.

Not as warm as I hoped. Index finger is too tight, with the seam pushing slightly in between index and the middle finger. Thumb is ok, but could use more space too. Cuff is too short, and cold air can enter the gloves from there. The back of the hand has nice fleece lining, but not the palm.

Otherwise good for lower 30 to midhigh 20s, but not any better than PI Lobster mitts. I would extend the cuff coverage, and make it a lobster, that way fingers could keep each other warmer.

Ride consistently in 30 degree temps and these are perfect. Shifting and breaking is no problem and these solved my cold hands problem for good. Ordinary finger gloves could never keep my fingers warm no matter how much insulation they had. Something about having your own fingers next to each other made the difference for me.

Great product, warm and is like advertised

I have not used them yet, but they look great.
