Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves | $39.99
BikeRadar verdict
"Heavily padded, well insulated gloves that don’t restrict finger movement"
The Cyclone glove from Pearl Izumi doesn’t try to keep you toasty by packing in bulky thermal layers. Instead it relies on blocking the wind from the outside with thinner thermal lining to insulate the still air inside the glove.
It works too, unless the temperature tips below freezing, then you’d do well to add a liner or upgrade to Pearl’s classic Amfib which will roast your hands, but reduce finger control.
The Cyclone is great if you like to put the miles in during winter, but the gel-filled palm pads are maybe a little tall.

User review of Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves
I have had two pairs of these. However to call them "winter gloves" is misleading. Once temperatures reach 10 degrees Celsius, and wind chill kicks in, they become to cold. These gloves are better suited to spring or autumn riding.
