GORE WEARC5 Thermo Gloves GORE-TEX

These would have lasted forever but our dog ate one. Otherwise, they are the best. We ride as long as it is above 25 degrees outside in Indiana. These are the only acceptable glove for winter. They are warm, and the price is actually good because they will never show wear. They are warm forever. The pair that was not eaten are perfect after 5 years, and about 11,000 miles. I will buy the replacement pair now, and keep them from the reach of our dogs (the only thing that can kill these gloves). If you are a serious rider, buy these! Don't waste time trying to make a cheap pair work; that is a waste of time.

The gloves are very comfortable and well-made.I agree with the reviews that said they run small. I always fit an XL glove well but ended up returning these for XXL The XL could have worked but felt a but too snug.Other than that, these are perfect for cold winter rides on my MTB. I stay pretty warm even down to 18 or so degrees F. For road biking, of course, it would be a different story but I don't think any non-heated glove would be warm on the road at those temps.

To preface this review, I’m a road cyclist and in good weather I ride about 200 miles a week, give or take. In the winter that has dropped to 170. I ride pre-dawn, so that means temps are consistently in the 20s and teens. I am constantly on the lookout for gloves good enough to keep the wind, created by my speed traveling through the air, at bay while still allowing my hands to operate the brakes and gears. All gloves fail to do this. Mitts that go over the bars (hoods/drops) are the only solution in extreme cold. Don't waste your money buying gloves if you are committed to riding through the winter. Get big mitts that fit over your handle bars. You can buy them on Amazon. That said, I'm always hoping to find a glove that can let me go a little bit colder without using the bar mitts because they are goofy, reduce hand positions, and aren't aero. With that in mind, here’s the review of these gloves!I have about 400 miles with these gloves and the durability has been excellent. I bought these in the Warehouse section for about 1/3 the cost. I'm a size small in most gloves these days, with giro being my most owned brand of cycling gloves. These small gloves fit more like an extra small. They work for road cycling but that is about it. I can't comfortably open my hand super wide, which I don't need to do on my road bike, so these gloves work, just barely. If I was paying full price I would have returned for a medium.Do they work in the cold? Yes, to a point. I've worn them without bar mitts down to about 25 for 20-30 mile rides. The first 7 miles or so, my fingers get super cold and numb. This is normal! At those temps your body does not prioritize your fingers for blood flow until you get nice and warm! After 7-8 miles, I can feel the blood flow starting to go back to my fingers and I am good for the rest of the ride. I am always worried that my fingers will not come back, though that has never happened. I own other cold weather gloves and in similar conditions, I experience the same thing. Numb fingers until I get get good and warmed up is the norm for me. These gloves meet or slightly exceed my expectations on their windproof and warmth claims.Are they waterproof? In my one extremely wet ride, yes they were. I don't go out and ride in the poring rain on purpose. Just too messy and dangerous for my taste. Yet, it sometimes happens. I miss judged the radar and ended up doing about 15 miles in the soaking cold rain. Temps were just above freezing. I could poor water out of my cycling shoes by the end. My hands stayed dry. The wicking and breath ability is pretty good too. I am impressed by the waterproofing of these gloves! Now, they do soak up water but it doesn't get through. Would they hold up for hour after hour? I don't know and I'll never find out because I'll head home before I do 2-3 hours in the rain.So, the sizing is an issue, as well as the cost. These are expensive gloves! Wait for a sale or buy in the warehouse. $90 is too much and they won't stop your hands from freezing in extreme cold, or even that initial 20 minutes in the mid 20s (bar mitts are the way). The other major gripe I have is the snot wipe area. Why they can't put it on the big knuckle of the thumb area, like literally every other cycling glove ever made, is beyond my understanding. Instead, it is narrowly along the thumb, web area, and index finger. Narrow and thin are words I'd use to describe this. Not big enough and in the wrong place. You end up rubbing your nose on the regular glove material, which is not comfy on your delicate nose skin. Also, since the wipe are is not tucked away on your lower thumb knuckle/hand area, and rather on parts of your hand that you use while cycling or doing other things (like shaking hands), you get snot on whatever you grab. Yuck! This is a major miss and the main reason why I didn't give this glove a 5 star review.I dinged gore on the snot area pretty good but they got the Velcro right on these gloves, something most other companies miss. They use that low profile Velcro which is much less prone to grab on stuff. Also, the grabby side is on the strap, rather than the body of the glove. This means that if you don't have the strap all the way on the body velcro cinched down tight, the bit left over won't grab on stuff. This is great because fleece and spandex do not mix well with velcro. Major win for Gore!In conclusion, dexterity, warmth, and waterproofing is excellent for my uses. These won't keep your hands warm sub 20s, but no glove alone will. That said, they are just about the best glove I've tried. I can forgive the sizing and the price but the snot wipe area is unforgivable. Gore needs to fix this to make the perfect cold weather cycling glove.

Not for cold weather but does ok for milder temps around 45-50F, for me at least.They will make your hands sweat and then freeze depending on how cold it is.This is the same of any neoprene glove.

My rides are only an hour long; so maybe if you wear them in heavy rain for 8 hours they will soak through. But after one hour in heavy rain, my hands are completely dry. This is the first set of "waterproof" gloves I have purchased that have delivered on the promise.As others have noted...size up! I measure on the border of M and L; I usually get L to have a little room. But I got these in XL and they still seem just a tiny bit tight.

I like pretty much everything about these gloves - the color, the fit, the warmth

While my palms and the backs of my hands stayed warm, my fingers were never warm and comfortable. They only got colder throughout my ride, which I aborted after and an hour.Temperature was degrees, 31 degree wind chill and 55% humidity.

Completely waterproof, surprisingly warm for as thin as they are. Great quality & craftsmanship. Fit is tight, so order size up, if you like loose fit gloves.
