Planet Bike Borealis
Keep my fingers warmer than others I've bought that advertised they were winter gloves. However, they could breath better. The lining gets wet. Overall, pretty good. Of the four pairs of gloves I have, these are the best.

Great Winter Glove...Great Price
I could not ask for a better winter and cold weather bike glove. These are extremely comfortable, have the flexibility I want and wear very well. They are easy to get on and off. The grip is absolutely great. I would not advise wearing these in even mild warm weather though as your hands will sweat. The liners work quite well and if you have any difficulty with them, a stick works just fine putting them back into place. The price of these gloves is great...you are getting a lot of glove for relatively little money.

Great at the right temp
I bought these for cold weather riding (commuting) in South Dakota. I found that wearing these gloves at temps over 40F isn't a good idea as they do NOT breath well so my hands would sweat and soak the gloves. This normally wouldn't be a big deal but since I needed the gloves the next day, I had to buy a glove dryer to get them dry fast enough to use. Just letting them sit on the counter would take 3-4 days to dry out (again, they don't breath at all). Between the temps of 20F-40F however, they are the perfect glove. Hands might be a little chilly to start the ride but by the time my blood is flowing from the ride, they worked great. Either way, I still use the glove dryer to keep them moisture-free (yes, I have a glove dryer at work and at home). If you plan to ride regularly at temps below 20F, I'd keep looking...they aren't warm enough for that.

Numerous problems
I paid more than $25 for these gloves, so I am unfortunately going to have to make due with them. For those who are considering them, heed the follow SERIOUS drawbacks: 1. They will not keep your index fingers or thumbs warm in the low 20's, if you are traveling with any amount of speed. 2. Even while your fingers are cold, your palms will be sweaty, which will make the liner of the gloves extremely moist. 3. The liner is not completely removable, so the only way to dry it is to pull it out, reversing the fingers. If you do this, you will face 10-20 minutes of wrangling when you try to put the gloves back on, while you curse and end up using a twig, a pen or a chopstick to try and get the fingers of the liner back into their places. Even after doing this, it will probably feel like the liner material is "bunched up" and not completely arranged properly inside the outer shell of the glove. I commute on my bike. These gloves have literally made me late on cold days when I simply could not get them on properly. They might be the most frustrating article of clothing I have ever owned. They are, however, warmer than a regular set of non-cycling gloves. So there is that.

Best Gloves for Winter Ever
Right now I'm riding around with ONE I lost the other somehow. But I'm gonna order another pair. In just LARGE (I'm usually an XL but these run larger) These gloves keep my hands warm no matter what. Well the one I've got haha. When I had them both and I was riding around in 40 degree weather it was still too warm for them... I'm gonna need some less warm transitional gloves for next year. Because they shouldn't say "fall/winter" maybe fall winter up north but not here in Louisville. It's more like JUST winter.
