Bellwether Windstorm Glove

I was hoping they would be warmer,and keep me drier. Also don't care for the velcro wrist band. Now searching for a good warm glove that will keep me warm and dry for Seattle winter rides.

I ride in Vancouver (aka WET) weather daily, and although they look nice these are not waterproof. The description doesn't actually claim that they are, but I bought them assuming they were, my mistake.

Overall value isn't bad (if you buy them on sale), windproof, warm enough for 3-5deg C riding, and quality overall construction. Just disappointed when I took them off after 45minutes and had to wring them out.

I've worn the gloves in temps down to 40 degrees F and in light rain. The gloves are very comfortable and warm in these conditions. Love the velcro cuffs!

The gloves do run slightly small in size. I usually wear a size XL glove and found the XLs of this particular model just a tad snug.

I have to mention BTD's return process. Original pair of gloves had a clean cut near one of the thumbs. After contacting BTD (with a photo of the problem), got a quick response that a replacement pair was on its way - along with a postage paid envelope to use to return the defective pair. Great service!

I commute year round. Have for 20 years also lead bike tours. Of all the full fingered fallwinter gloves I've owned, these keep a good temperature, the rubber grippies are all sensibly located, and I can operate my touch screen mobile while gloves on. When I saw the great price Bike Tires Direct had...I snapped an extra pair.

Good fit, nice feel. I really dislike heavy gloves and use these as much as possible. Work well down to 38 degrees F - below that you need liners or heavier gloves.

This glove (on its own) is good for damp conditions with temps in the 45-55 degree range. From 35-45 I use thin polypro liners. Lower than 35 I go to a winter glove. This glove was a good value for the $.

Price is low, but the quality is lower. I sent the first pair back because a seam was coming apart. Now I noticed on the new pair a few loose threads. Doesn't repeal water much.
