Review on 🧀 Pearl Izumi Lobster Gloves X Small: Supreme Comfort & Enhanced Grip for Cold Weather Cycling by Nathan Ortiz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good protection but over the top

Bought for winter riding. I took them on a trip in 29 degrees for 24 miles. I used a Showerspass glove liner with them. After the first kilometers I was fine and my hands weren't cold. Although I was surprised in the first few kilometers, I felt cold. These are good gloves but I used a lining to tweak them. My mistake was always a large size. The size I wear is large and they fit on their own, but it was too much of a hassle to put on or take off the padded gloves. So much so that I sent them back. Now I'm debating whether to get XLarge or switch to another product. Value for money is good and I'll probably have to spend a little more to get better. I wasn't a fan of the two finger claw, but I was able to get it to work. It's just me and it wasn't too bad, but I'm thinking of something with three fingers, maybe even four, to give me a little more dexterity. If you're thinking about buying them, you might want to consider going up a size. This gives you the choice on days when you don't need earbuds or days when you need extra protection. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because I thought I could do without the liner at this temperature. To be honest I should have given him more time but I didn't want to use gloves if I had to go back. In my test they were not affected.
