Pearl Izumi

I've tried every winter cycling glove, ski gloves, in various combination. It gets cold here in January (it's 14 F outside right now). My coldest rides have been in the single digits (temperature, not "wind chill").

At this point in my life the Pearl Izumi Amfib Lobster gloves work down to 35 F. I add silk liner gloves and a disposable hand warmer per glove. There's room enough for my hands and all that. Yes, it's a bit clumsy compared to summer fingerless gloves, but if you're going to ride in the cold, go with these.

I have no opinion on their usefulness in cold, wet weather riding. I'm not insane.

FWIW, I splurged on a pair of Assos lobsters a while ago and the finger cutout was too deep and dug into the web between my fingers. These don't do that.

Highly recommended.

The fit and finish are quite good, this is a very well made garment. I'm a slim build, 183 centimeters, 70 kilos, size medium.

In comparing these recently purchased (2025) PRO bibs to the PRO bibs I purchased in late 2023, I feel this newer chamois under delivers in comfort. On rides exceeding 6 hours, my "butt-o-meter" says this triple-density Levitate chamois is good for ~130 kilometers. The older pad is still more comfortable at 160+ kilometers.

I can't say with any certainty but perhaps there's been a change in pad design/material???

Pearl Izumi, please revise your Pro chamois.

I've been wearing P.I. cycling gear for over 30 years (going back to the days of Bio-Suede pads) and their quality materials and construction is still the best. The fit of these is exactly as expected and the pad -at this level- is fine. I've tried two other brands and their struggle to create a durable "comfortable" pad is equal to P.I.'s ... I'll just say that I really miss the Bio-Suede padding! Off the bike, it's just not comfortable. To this day I wish there was a "quality" pad that is thinner. These thicker ones do 'pad' but feel a bit squiggly.

Please... also read the label and description with regard to the material. The " AIR " par of the name is signifying the super light weight fabric, almost sheer. Clearly these are designed for very warm rides. Ultra light weight. The bib straps and back are so thin it takes special effort to untwist them to lie flat. I think I'll be using them for indoor winter training. Will save on my regular ride favorites.

As usual BikeTiresDirect provided a great price and really quick service... Satisfies as always.

I'm prone to feeling cold all the time, and winter riding is challenge. At age 80, I'm not generating the wattage to keep me warm. This jersey is a good insulator. I'm 6' tall, 155#. A size MEDIUM from Pearl fits me perfectly. Room for a base layer under it. Sleeve length and body length are ample without excess. I usually wear a wind jacket over it,so the HI VIS yellow doesn't show when it counts, but I like the color. I show up well when we stop for coffee.
