Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gel Glove

These Pearl Cyclone gel gloves feel like pro kit for your hands on cool or wet days. I prefer gloves that provide a responsive feel on the bars and for shifting and these fit the bill. They do run snug so if your fingers are beefy you might find them tight.

I haven't used the glove yet. It fits nice and the material seems strong enough to use for a bunch of seasons.

Overall I like these gloves. Feel good while riding, not overly padded which I like. Decent at keeping moisture out, though with hard enough rain or enough time in the rain it'll get through, though I haven't found a pair of gloves where this wasn't the case. The bright color is nice, and the fabric on the thumbs is good for wiping the nose and not making it raw. There was a tag on the gloves when new that showed temp range as being 35-55 degrees Fahrenheit. I know some riders that don't wear any gloves down to the low 40's, so these might work for them in the mid-30's, but I found them to not keep my hands warm for long at anything below 45 or so. I have other gloves that work better for lower temps anyway, but these will serve well for those cool, but not cold, rides with a chance of showers.

Pearl Izumi does raingear very well. I have found these gloves to be pretty waterproof. Part of that is that they're a little loose around each finger, so that little bit of air keeps the wet glove off of your skin. The fit and padding at the heel of the palm is just great.

Once the temperature goes under 40 degrees farenheit, forget it, they're not warm enough. I like to carry them as a spare set when it's going to be a super wet day.

This glove has been used in 30-40 degree, dry weather. They keep my hand/fingers warm. The index finger material allows operation of my touchscreen Garmin 830, although it's slightly bulky. I'm not a fan of the zipper closure system: the gauntlet is long enough that it requires my jersey/jacket to be tucked into it. That tends to bulk up the fabric of the jacket/jersey such that fully closing the zipper with one hand is difficult at best. If the gauntlet was shorter, one could zip and tuck it into the sleeve opening, or if it was larger diameter, zipping wouldn't be an issue.

I just wore out a pair of these 6 year old gloves while riding the Southern Tier. I tried winter insulated gloves from two other brands, but they were no warmer and certainly no drier than these. In fact, they took longer to dry out once wet from sweat!

Excellent grip, warm in 30 degree weather, and in the rain. Look no further for a better winter glove.

For me, these Pearl Izumi cyclone gloves are the go to glove for temps between 40 and 55 degrees F and on raw/wet days. Below 40F and I'm inside. Not too hot or clammy they also work well on my Garmin head unit touch screen.

Wore out my old mid-weight, mid-season gloves so needed a new pair. Nice fit and feel and cushioning. XL fit my

freakishly long fingers well.

This is the perfect set of gloves if, like me, you constantly run warm on the bike. I needed a thinner, waterproof full finger glove for winter riding in Portland OR, and this fit the bill perfectly. I also like that they're thin because it still gives you that "natural road feel" through your handlebars. So far they seem to be built tough and should hold up to a few winters' heavy use.

Fits, well, like a glove!

This is my third pair, the first pair wore out over 2 years of nearly daily use (mostly on the shifter fingers); the second pair was stolen from my handlebar bag while locked up outside of Kinkos.

No trouble using my index shifters, and keeps my hands warm without being sweaty in the 50deg cold mornings in Los Angeles. Probably good down to 40deg.

Needed some non-bulky gloves for chilly morning rides. They work well for me as long as the temp is above 40 Fahrenheit. I use them primarily for road riding and have had zero issues with shifting. Solid gloves with a little extra warmth.

Nice gloves good for 40 degrees and above. Great purchase

This is a good glove that keeps my hands warm and dry in rain and cold weather. The glove also allows you to use the pointer finger with a touch screen as well - good feature.

I needed to exchange these for the next size up. No problems. Fast and easy. The gloves work great in 40 to 60deg temps.

This is my second pair. My first lasted me the last couple winters and finally started to wear out.

I often get out in sub freezing temps and don't like wearing heavy/bulky ski style gloves. So I'd looked for a good cold weather glove that still maintained good dexterity. These fit the bill.

On their own they come out when the temps drop below 45-50 and I find them good down to about freezing, unless it's humid. If the air is moist, thick, and penetrating nothing is gonna keep you very warm. In those cases, or when it gets really cold, I'll wear a thin pair of merino knit gloves under these, and have been experimenting with surgical gloves to help keep that moisture barrier in tact which has worked pretty well. I've ridden in dry, single digit temps and with thin gloves under these, I've been good once riding and working up some internal heat.

Regardless of temp, these gloves punch above their weight for me and have become my Goldilocks glove for cold weather. That they aren't overly expensive have also made them feel worth more than the asking price.

Buy a size bigger. They are quite snug and I have small fists.

Perfect fit, comfortable, no hand fatigue, VISABLE great when using hand turn signals.

This is my second pair of these gloves. They are my absolute favorite because they keep your hands warm and dry for most rides. I prefer them because they're light, comfortable, wind proof and I call them waterproof. They aren't specifically waterproof so, yes, your hands can eventually get wet with these but that takes a while in the rain. I ride in the rain 9 months a year and used to be a daily cycle commuter. I've tried many and have waterproof version of these but they are too warm and bulkier.

The gloves are very lightly insulated. The best thing about this pair of gloves is the gel pads. This new version is longer and can be tucked over the sleeves of your winter jacket. The thumb part is soft for wiping off my runny nose. The inside, however, is a bit rough. The velcro closure has a strange design and is pretty useless. I went ahead and cut mine off so the velcro does not snag any of my bibs.
