Does anyone have any experience with the Dissent 133 windproof gloves?
They seem like a good idea (like a wind jacket for your hands), but if someone can provide direct feedback, that would be great!

Any other options out there for something similar?

Haven't tried those, but they look interesting.

The best winter / windproof gloves I've found, and are currently using since 2016, are Endura Nemo Gloves. They're a neoprene material. Can only use them when the temps get around freezing & below. If it's in the teens, I'll use the Nemo's, then add a thin wool glove over them.

If its just blocking the wind, have you tried Gore's N2S fabric? I had some N2S gloves at some point and they worked well enough, although they weren't grippy enough for biking and the pair I had were cheap ones from MEC (https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5032-250/Windstopper-N2S-Gloves).

Go figure though, my favourite winter glove are the Gore brand Windstopper gloves (https://road.cc/content/review/235699-gore-universal-windstopper-gloves). I find them amazing in the colder temps, although they're definitely not waterproof. But they're great for biking and I use them regularly in winter for driving; although I'll clean the snow off the car with other waterproof gloves/mitts.

I like Handup gloves a lot. They make a "cold weather" version which means 35-60F to me. Works well at blocking wind. Cheap and fun colors too.

+1 - I've had a pair of the Gore Windstopper gloves for 10+ yrs. They work great. I'd say they work best for temps above freezing.

Manzella makes a silkweight windstopper glove, its about $35 and pretty well made.

Have a pair of nice thin Castelli wind-proof gloves that have been great so far

I have a PI glove that is basically a shell but does have a very light liner to it so your hands don't feel like they are in a bag.

Also Mountain Hardware may make when without any lining.

I have never seen/tried those particular gloves, but I have some "wind-proof" gloves from Teo Sport (maybe they make things for Assos?, but I am not certain); they are excellent, as advertised, wind-proof.

I wear them over thinner silk gloves if the temperatures are colder; they are definitely not lined/insulated sub-freezing gloves but they work great for wind and are not bulky at all.

I like the Assos lobster covers for long cold descents, then peel 'em off again for the uphills. They're super light and pack down real small.

I tried several windproof gloves (including the castelli mentioned), and they were always damp and clammy in 32-45F, so I prefer the layers.

Thanks for all the replies.
What appeals to me about the Dissent gloves is that they are a lightweight shell rather than a proper glove. From the pictures, it appears to pack down extremely small.

The Assos shellgloves are interesting - hopefully I'll be able to find some in a local store and take a closer look before buying!

I have had a pair of gloves that are comprised of a light knit liner and a wind resistant shell for about 10 years. Not cycling gear but that is how I use them. Just be sure the outer shell is a plenty loose fit. Tight gloves, like tight shoes are cold.

Another option is a very thin leather outer shell over a knit liner. Goat skin is a common choice for these. Again, loose fit for warmth.

For cold weather which is for me less than 40 deg I use lobster claw gloves. I actually have 3 different pairs. The most recent are the Pearl Izumi version that work great for me and I ride down to 25 degrees.

There are many different brands and most work well and I can shift just fine and grab a bottle. They aren't great for eating but not a big deal.

I use a pair of north face canyon wall etip gloves.

Windblocking on back of hands/fingers, rubbery fleece palm, lightly water resistant.

Good for me down to around freezing, and plenty of flexibility for shifting etc. gauntlet length cuff to tuck long sleeve jersey or jacket into to keep wind out.

Worn under a set of north face guardian gloves when it drops under freezing or there’s snow involved.

In both cases, gloves are double duty. Worn in cold weather on or off bike in same situations.

For above freezing, the $15 Costco ‘Head’ branded running gloves work well too.
