I"m a Lobster Mitt man, myself. I commute through the winters in NYC and Pearl Izumi has been the go-to. I think I'm on my third pair in around 25 years or so. They clean up well in the washer, hang dry - never the dryer (ask me how I know). The upper cuff isn't too annoying with various jackets, etc. I switch over to them when the temps drop to the low 30's. They aren't perfect below say, 10 degrees - but they're still pretty good - and for sure, I try to keep my trips short when it's below 10 degrees anyway.
They've evolved over the years - I'm about to try out a new pair this winter. I purchased them from Tri-Sports last Spring when they were on sale at $42.99. It looks like they're back up to full retail price again but maybe search around for a better price if you're interested. https://www.trisports.com/product/pearl-izumi-amfib-lobster-gel-glov On Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 4:15:59 PM UTC-4 Patrick Moore wrote: > The fall style thread raises a question about keeping your hands warm in > very cold temperatures (for me, very cold means in the teens F).
