Glacier Gloves - anyone tried 'em?

[Bob Ross]

Thinking about Glacier Gloves; specifically, the 802BK "PERFECT CURVE CYCLING GLOVE ": http://www.glacieroutdoor.com/products_cycling.php

Anyone have any experience w/ these? Thanks.

I have the version with the fleece lining *edit* they are the same model you listed just a new name. My hands get cold easy and these are by far the best gloves I've used to date. They have some drawbacks, but overall, I really like them.

They have excellent grip on the bar and it's easy to grab a water bottle. I'm comfortable down to the 20s for long rides (2-5 hours)

If you put them on then go in to really cold weather they function like a wet suit where your hands will be freezing cold but after 20 or so minutes they warm up and stay warm for the remainder of the ride.

The drawback is they don't breathe at all. Usually my hands get very sweaty using them. I wear a liner glove and this helps some, and if the temperature is just right they'll stay mostly dry, but they still sweat quite a bit. Drying them out afterwards is tough.
