These are a good pair of medium/heavyish weight gloves. They do run a bit small, but overall work well. I usually have these out on a ride of 25-40ish F type weather in moderate amount of rain. Below 25, especially on a downhill where it can get to as low as 16F, they don't provide enough warmth and at that point, I switch to heavier weight gloves. But that's why it's a good idea to have multiple pair of gloves for all types of riding weather!
The Concurve jacket preforms in all weather conditions, but seemingly best in the worst weather condition's. The hood is a game changer during cold windy, or mixed precip days. It fully protects your neck area front to back and helps hold your body heat in. The jacket is a very lightweight final layer that offers excellent wind and water protection. It has kept me comfortable in my daily commutes with a base layer 1 down to -11 degrees with a windchill of -24 degrees thus far.
These are very comfortable splittens but a little bit snug / short in the fingers for me in size XL. Great warmth in freezing and wet conditions. Easy to get sweaty hands back inside the lining without much of a fight. I wish the cuff was a little longer but it is sufficient when paired with a good long sleeve. The finger chamois is soft enough to use on wet glasses for a quick wipe and sufficient for snotty leaks.
Took me a little while to adjust to shifting with only index finger when in the drops, doable but took some time to get used to. Overall a great go to for cold and wet rides.
Finally got down into the low 30's so I could try this out. Very happy with the fit and the comfort. This is not stretchy so "snot rockets" require removal of the balaclava. I was very pleased with how well it stayed in place. I don't push myself on these cold weather rides. I am just trying to spend time up on two wheels. I was able to breath without issue, but if I was really pushing myself, I would not be getting as much air as I would want. You are drawing your breath through little holes instead of a big opening. This way is much warmer and I wanted warmer so no complaints.
