Giro Blaze 2.0 Winter Gloves Black XL

These gloves get it right where it counts: the fit is spot-on, and the warmth-to-weight ratio is pretty great. I find their sweetspot is right in the 50 - 55 F range, though they can easily go down to 50F and up to 60F. Which means these are my go-to gloves for riding in the spring and fall; If I'm honest, I rarely go out to ride when it's colder than 50F.I only give them 4 stars because the cuff opening is rather tight, as mentioned by another reviewer, and cuffs should be another inch or so longer to ensure no bare wrists.Overall I would buy these again

Cuff/Opening Doesn't Stretch and is Tight

As of 12/2018 the sizing chart here and at Giro's website are way off. Giro's website has a women's chart when you click on the men's Blaze 2.0 and the same chart was being used here. Two other major online sites I checked have two different size charts for this glove. When I contacted JensonUSA, their support folks recommended I use the other two sites' charts (but which one?). So I guessed my size and ordered L and XL. My palm circumference is 8.75" and I wear Dakine's Cross-X full finger glove in size L. I ended up keeping size XL in the Blaze 2.0 even though L almost fit except for the opening - the strapless opening of the glove is small and doesn't stretch much at all so even with the XL, I can barely get my hand in. I've done some 50F night rides and while it ... MoreAs of 12/2018 the sizing chart here and at Giro's website are way off.

I've done some 50F night rides and while it keeps my hands warm, the softshell material doesn't breath much and the interior gets a little wet.

Great Gloves

I bought these gloves for the winter biking season here in France. They are excellent. They keep your hands warm & are very flexible for gear change & getting food out of your jacket or top. Great quality & a great price !

Nice gloves.

They were a little small at the start but after a couple of rides they loosened up and now fit nicely.Haven’t had them for long but so far nice.

Not a glove for Canberra Winter

Why is that cycle glove manufacturers think that the biggest part of the hand is the wrist? It is almost impossible to get these gloves on, trying to get the palm through the wrist entry is very hard. There is next to no stretch or flexibility in the wrist part. I bought these thinking that they were really winter gloves But they are so thin and the microfleece lining so thin that in Canberra on a cold winters morning you may as well be wearing lined dish washing gloves

Poorly made

The seams ripped after the second ride, and these don't block wind well. My fingers got very cold when riding in mid 30 degree weather.

Thin but warm

Great gloves for mild winter. Although they are quite thin, they insulate well. Good grip. For below zero I would take something thicker.

Touch Screen tips don't work

Gloves fit really well and keep the cold / rain out. I'll be returning them, however, as the Touch Screen tips do not work on my iPhone 7+.

Warm gloves

Used these for my Solvang Century on a chilly morning start. Padding on palms is adequate to reduce numb hands.

winter gloves

these are warm and nice and bright for safety . my only issue is they are a bit hard to get on with the band being very tight . but they are good
