Rated temperature 0 to 40 degrees

The soft surface of the hull withstands falling snow and haupel, not to mention showers. the wind

The pads have a reflective logo and a leather palm (so you can only ride with pads) and help absorb sweat so you don't have to wash your softshell gloves as often. The Lobster Gloves share the same design and construction as the WxB 3x1, but your fingers are interlaced in pairs, making you

Pros
  • Spring/Summer 2014
Cons
  • So-so
