Gore WearC5 GORE-TEX Thermo Glove - Men's
Item # GWR009F
Even with a proper cold weather kit, it can be tricky to keep your hands warm and dry in winter conditions. Cold temperatures try to get the best of your fingers, while tire spray from wet roads threatens to soak them. With a pair of weatherproof cycling gloves like the C5 Gore-Tex Thermo Glove from Gore Wear, early winter rides are certainly more pleasant.
The Gore-Tex membrane is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, shielding your hands from the cold and rain while ensuring they don't get clammy if you start to heat up. The membrane combines with synthetic insulation to keep your hands warm down to about 40-degree temperatures, per Gore's recommendation. The glove's interior has a brushed liner that is soft on your skin to enhance comfort. The exterior of the glove has a synthetic leather palm to improve your grip on the bars, along with foam padding on the palm to dampen road vibration—making them a great choice for longer rides.

Very small, size up. My palm is 20.5 cm and the large was too small. Might have been women’s sizes? I’m not a large man, so if I can wear XL gloves and size small everything else, something is wrong here. The fit seems good, and the quality is there. And they seem really warm, but if it was really really cold and I wanted to wear liners, I think I would probably need XXL

Hey, I'm admittedly a cold wimp, but I wore these for the first time today in 40 degree weather, WITH Smartwool liners, and my fingers were frozen by the end of the ride. I like them otherwise, but not as warm as I thought they would be.

I got these gloves for when it is less than 30 degrees. They work great - they wick away my sweat and keep my hands warm. Not recommended for anything warmer than 40 degrees, but terrific for trail running in the winter. I also use them for mountain biking when it gets cold - I keep them in my hydration pack for those days where my lighter windstopper gloves (Castelli) stop cutting it on the long downhills . . . Terrific gloves for anyone looking for something for real activity in real cold. It fits me perfectly - but I like a nice tight fit. If in doubt you might want to size up. (or if you have sausage fingers)

I don’t think I’ve ever worn gloves as uncomfortable as these. The fingers are too long super skinny. I can’t full open my hand because the material on the palm Is inflexible snd the thumb is cut incorrectly. Fingers cold in 45 degree temps / not even riding. Too difficult to articulate move Mt to safety change gears, pull brakes, ride in the drops. Only gripping the tops is okay. Forget trying to grab chews out of your back pocket / the goofy fingertips are so long. Too bad. They match. Look good , but not made for humans who use their hands. Nothing like the jackets and jerseys.

My perfect cold weather bike glove!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Fit:
- Runs small
I have several pairs of bulky lobster style gloves that aren't really that warm. This glove is amazing! I've worn it to fat bike in 23 degrees with wind and my hands stayed warm! I had such better control of my bike than with bulkier gloves. I'll wear these on cold road bike days too (temps in the 30s). They do run 2 sizes small (finger length is short). I typically wear women's XS and the men's Small fits. My husband is typically a Large in everything and he needed an XXL in these. These were an excellent purchase.

Sizing way off

I ordered XL, my usual size, and they were too small. Returned them and had to pay the return shipping charges.

I have bought a lot of gloves for winter riding, but these are the first that have actually done what they promised, kept me warm and dry. I have worn them in temperatures down into the low 30s and on several days when it rained throughout the ride. My hands have stayed warm and dry. I have many years of experience with Goretex dating back to their earliest renditions. The recent generations have finally fulfilled the promise. They are really great gloves.
