I bought these gloves for temperatures ranging from mid thirties to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. I find them to be okay, but would like to point out a few things. First the wind still hits your hands. Why hasn't anyone changed out the glove tops that are exposed to wind for something more resistant to the elements? Seems like a no brainer. 2nd I found my index finger to be somewhat restricted. I need my index fingers on both hands for the brakes. I would have preferred more flexibility in that finger. I found my fingers to be somewhat restricted and slow. Overall the gloves are okay and so worth keeping. I have not washed the gloves yet so that might loosen up the index fingers. Having complained there are several things that are positive. The gloves are relatively warm at 40 degrees and above. I get good bike sensitivity through the gloves. Therefore, I'm still in touch with my ride. I also thought the price was very reasonable. I plan on riding most of the winter with the exception of days where where it just isn't fun. I'll add to the review if my feelings change. FYI.. I ride two to three times a week. Mostly XC. I have big palms and short stubby fingers that are thick. Not hat I would call "model" hands.

As usual with this brand, I'm impressed with this Pearl Izumi product, especially considering its price. Of course, temperature ranges vary from person to person, but I like these gloves in the high 30's to high 40's.
I really appreciate the soft material on the thumb which feels good wiping my gross, snotty nose on cold rides. Another nice feature is the ability to use my phone with the gloves on, and I can even text decently thanks to the touchscreen compatibility and dexterity afforded by these gloves.
If you've got really long pointer fingers, consider sizing up. Pointer finger length is never an issue for me in gloves, but with these they feel just a tad short, but not enough to bother me.
Warmer Than Expected

These gloves are relatively thin and fit true to size. Because of the thinness I was worried about how warm they would be but they actually performed better then expected. I've gone on three mountain bike rides with them where the temperature was anywhere from 38-45 degrees and they kept my hands harm for the entire ride. Now I wasn't going very fast so results on a road bike may be different. An unexpected bonus is that the smartphone touch integration is the best that I've ever found on a glove. It works perfectly even with the iPhone 7 digital home button.
