Giro 100 Proof Winter Gloves, Black, Large On Sale

Giro 100 Proof Winter Gloves, Black, Large
100 PROOF. Our warmest glove, featuring variable weight insulation with split finger “lobster claw” design to handle extreme cold and wet weather (15 F / -10 C). The 100 Proof offers maximum hand and finger insulation from cold and wet weather with a waterproof, breathable outer shell and Thinsulate XT-S with X-Static performance core. The removable moisture-wicking inner liner can also be worn on its own when temperatures are mild. It’s a double dose of maximum warmth that won’t compromise riding dexterity or weigh you down.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Warmest gloves I've found in 20 years.
I have vascular problems in my hands and feet. I ride 365 in Chicago, sometimes in 10 Deg F or colder weather. I probably have about 10 different pairs of gloves, liners, etc. I've tried just about everything over the last 22 years, including Pearl Izumi Lobsters.

These are warm and well made. Grip is good. Inner liner makes a good warmer weather glove.

Fingers aren't actually connected.
I wish I could omit the star rating here because I didn't end up using these gloves, I'm returning them, but I wanted to post a review to say that inside each "lobster claw", the fingers are still separated - there's cloth between the two fingers in each "claw" that keep your fingers separate. It's thick enough that you can't really rub your fingers together. And I don't really understand why they would do that.

I bought them on the basis of the review that said they're the warmest gloves for cycling, even including the Pearl Izumi lobster gloves, but I'm returning them because the Pearl Izumi lobster gloves don't separate the fingers like that - your index + middle fingers are touching and so are your ring + pinky. My hands get very cold in cold weather and the only thing that really helps is insulation + skin contact between fingers, being able to rub fingers together when they're cold. I wear heavy-duty mittens for snowboarding for that reason, but obviously can't bike...
These Gloves Deliver.
Like the other reviewer, I am also in Chicago.

I wanted to hold off reviewing these until I had the chance to try them in 'extreme' cold. Obviously, the entire country was in some sort of warm spell up until last week, so I had to delay.

At this point, I've used these gloves in a pretty wide range of temperatures. As for their claims of being good down to 15 degrees farenheit, I believe they made good. My only guess of some people complaining may be due to poorer circulation or numbness in hands from bar position, which will expedite the feeling of cold in the hands.

My ride in this morning was 8*F, and my fingers started to get cold around mile 10 (or about 35 minutes in.) I think the big killer is the wind. Obviously Chicago gets its fair share of windy days, and in the winter, it can be brutal. What tends to help is the liner of these gloves. Actually, the liner may end up being a good glove for temperatures above 45*F or so, as it is fairly...
