Comfortable and warm but very hard to dry
I live in Minneapolis and bike commute year-round, 13 miles each way, though admittedly less in the winter than in the summer. A big challenge is riding home in November after we go off daylight savings time and before there is snow on the ground. That time of year is DARK. I wanted some highly reflective gloves to be more visible, and these fit the bill.Unfortunately I got the waterproof kind with the idea that they would be windproof. I found the gloves to be very comfortable and kept my hands warm while riding in the 30s. For me they would likely have worked down into the low teens. The problem is that I tend to ride hard and my hands sweat. As has been mentioned by other reviewers it is very difficult to dry the insides of these gloves. I put them a hook that left them open to air for an entire weekend; they did not dry. I used a glove dryer for several hours and they were still wet. Note that these comments apply only to the waterproof version. The non-waterproof version is hopefully much better.I am returning these and may potentially try the non-waterproof version.

High Quality Visibility
I use these for commuting on a small motorcycle in city traffic. There are no products that are specific to motorcycling with this standard of visibility. While I would like the higher level of protection that a dedicated motorcycle glove offers, I know that the greatest threat to my safety is visibility, so these gloves are the best choice for my riding environment. If I was doing highway riding, I would absolutely want a higher standard of protection, but for my commute at less than 30mph, these bicycling / running gloves fit my needs well at a reasonable price. They are durable, easy to slip on with both an elastic cuff and a velcro cuff, they stay warm in moderate temperatures (the coldest I have used them for is ~40ºF), and don't get too hot in temperatures up to ~75ºF. They have good grip on the palms, but dexterity is limited due to their level of insulation. The reflective portions are very high quality for night visibility, and the yellow portions make a difference in daylight as well. Overall absolutely recommend for bicyclists and runners, and would also recommend for motorcyclists in limited (low speed) applications.

You can tell when cars see these
These are working for me.I walk and a key thing for me is visibility either crossing streets or when icy sidewalks force me to walk in the street facing traffic. This time of year with short daylight is hardest and I walk with a light and as much high vis gear as the weather permits.I bought these gloves looking for high viz, with warmth and water proofing - which is hard to find and some of the advertised options don't work even high priced ones from brand name vendors.Thus far these are great. Fit is comfortable, although I took reviewer advice to go up a size. I live in New England with relatives in Minnesota and I've now used these in both locations in the teens and twenties and am quite satisfied with the warmth and comfort factor.Best feature is safety - high visibility, reflective. Walking on the road edge at night you can see on-coming traffic pick you up as they move over a lane or as much as they can - substantially in advance of you. Exactly what you want during the dark season to stay safe. Good for you and good for the motorists as well.I like the fact that they are advertised as waterproof also, but have no experience as yet. Wet gloves are a drag and take a long time to dry. If these adhere to their claim it is an added bonus.The price is nuts reasonable given the features IMHO.Would recommend, but up a size.

5 stars
I was sent 2 right-handed gloves so I contacted the manufacturer through Amazon. They immediately sent me a new pair, no questions, and let me keep the ones I had (which I can gladly use for 1-handed jobs like prickly weed picking, oil change in the winter etc - always a use for extra gloves in my garage). They were very nice about this and it was an honest mistake.As far as the quality, great gloves! Very bright reflective surfaces and very warm. They have a weird black stitching at the top that pulls out rather easy so I am not sure if it is temporary but it doesn't effect anything and doesn't bother me.I got these for running in the winter at night and they are perfect for that, or just general use winter gloves. Great buy!

Great for Bike Safety
As weather gets cooler this time of year in NJ, these gloves keep your hands warm. And have the fluorescent surface on 50% of glove face (knuckle side of hand) for day riding and 50% of face with White reflective material for night riding.Great combo for your own safety while bike riding.

warm, comfy gloves. Great reflectivity
These feel great. I will wear them even when it's not dark outside because they are great for cold weather.

How Effective
I like this product. I have not run in them in a downpour, but I have in heavy drizzle and they did great! I have also run in them with wind and they did well. These are by far the best gloves I had used in the elements. I am looking forward to using them for winter running.
