I have taken these bibs into the low 20s with wind chill and have not been cold for a minute. They fit small as does most things by Castelli. I am 6' and 165 lbs. and the XL fits great. Chamois is nice, don't even notice it which is all I care about. Legs are a generous length if you want to put over winter cycling boots. All and all, could not be happier with this purchase.

I bought these gloves based on the description on the Pearl Izumi website. They claim to be winter gloves but I consider winter gloves to be able to go to at least the freezing point. I rode with these for 2 hour rides with wind chills in the mid 30s and my hands were frozen. For context here, I can run lobster gloves into the low 20s and be fine. And these are from companies that rate them in the 30s. The only reason I gave these 2 stars is that their claim to be waterproof is accurate. I know it is possible that I got a bum pair. However, after writing an e-mail to the folks at Pearl Izumi and never getting a response (I waited 2 weeks), I gave up and returned them to the fine folks at CC.
