Pearl IzumiAmFIB Lobster Gel Glove (Return to Product Page)

Like every other Pearl Izumi product I've ever purchased, choosing the right size is a crapshoot. I usually wear a size large or extra large glove. I measured my palm according to the instructions in the size chart and was borderline between L and XL, so I ordered the XL. They fit me, but snug. I used them for the first time today with the temperature in the low to mid 30's, and when I stopped during my ride and took them off for a couple of minutes during a stop, they were almost impossible to get back on. If I were to buy them again, I would buy the 2XL. On sale, they are a good value, but not at full msrp.

Love the insulating properties of this glove. It has kept my hands warm even in temperatures below freezing. The pocket holding the index / middle finger is a little awkward to use but the insulation makes up for it.

Windy, mid 30s F, these kept my fingers warm enough except for my thumbs. Thumbs got cold pretty quick. Shifting was also a little tricky with these on a road bike. Bought some bar mitts from somewhere else and that solved the problem, I can wear normal gloves with those as well.

It is in my experience the best gloves in cold weather for cycling. If needed you can add a hand warmer. I don't like the Velcro system. It sometimes can catch the clothes and hard to adjust when hands are cold. I am medium but it runs tight so better to be with large

I've ridden with these gloves into 23 degree December weather. They kept my hands warm - at least warm enough to shift and brake! Highly recommended. This was my second purchase as I lost another pair (long story).

I like these gloves. For my wimpy hands, they are good for riding down to about 10 degrees F with a thin liner underneath. Mine are a large and they are smaller than I expected, thus a liner fitting inside is pretty snug for colds days. Otherwise, they are great gloves!

While on an upper 30's ride wearing my regular gloves, my fingers were frozen beyond feeling. My riding partner, on the other hand (no pun intended), had a pair of the Pearl Izumi lobster gloves and claimed he was having no issues. I got home and immediately ordered a pair of these. I have worn them riding and skiing and they were super warm in each. Also, BTD had them marked down, so I got them at a nice price.

I've tried three other brands of gloves and these are indeed the warmest. However, that doesn't mean they're especially warm in below freezing temperatures, but at 32 deg. F they are OK. Also, they are just a tad small and wish they came in true half sizes. They're a good deal if you can get them on sale.

I had thought about getting a pair of these for years but put it off and kept trying other options. After finally buying a pair and trying them out on several long cold weather rides, I think I have finally found a solution to my winter glove puzzle.

I'm very happy with this addition to my glove collection. I was struggling in temps below 40 degrees and that struggle is over. These do heat up so I tend to save them for flatter land or descending if appropriate and bring lighter gloves for climbing. Also worked great classic xc skiing in temps the high teens. Still feel like I have good finger dexterity for braking/shifting.

I purchased these gloves in December 2020, have put on over 150 miles in cold rain, snow and driving winds and can say I'm impressed. It may take you some time to get used to the "Lobster configuration" but shifting is easy and grip firm.

I had 3 surprises with these gloves

1. They fit my large hands

2. Less bulky than I expected

3. Much warmer than I expected

Overall, well worth getting for cold weather riding.

Weird red ribbon on the finger tips, easy to tear off. Might just cut it off so it doesn't ruin anything when I do catch it on something.

Other than that, these are great gloves but unless you have Raynaud's or run really really cold, these are way too hot for western Oregon and Washington. Will be selling them.

Be sure to warm them up before heading out. Put them on and wear them for 20 minutes before you leave. Also if you are below 30 degrees, add handwarmers. You'll get used to shifting in about fifteen minutes. Love these things, wore out my first pair after 15 years of hard mtb, road, and gravel riding. Also the best way to keep your hands warm XC skiing.
