 I finally found my winter cycling glove!, December 4, 2009
By Colorado MO (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
|
|
I'm a year 'round bike commuter and do some winter road cycling. I've had no problem finding decent gloves for over 40F, but much below that it's a whole different story. These gloves fill the tremendous gap between my older "artic conditions only" Pearl lobster gloves (too hot for anything above single digits if I don't want a hand sauna) and a five finger windblock glove that leaves me cold once the temp gets around freezing.
I've used this Craft mitt for about a month of regular commuting now. I wear a men's large, which is consistent with the sizing on PI and Performance gloves. The fit is just a touch on the loose side, which I've found is crucial for my cold weather hand happiness.
The glove combo is lightweight and surprisingly non-bulky for such a warm glove. Nice microfleece nose patch on the thumb, great gripper material on the palm and index/middle finger "claw", and windproof backing. The seams and construction seem top notch and I expect great durability. The cuff is a pretty good length, covering the wrist nicely, although I find the velcro close tab a bit small to crank down over my admittedly fading jacket sleeves. The reflective logo is good to have but fairly small -- I'd prefer some reflective piping at the very least. The outer packs down pretty well and aside from the suede patches on the palm dries quite quickly. I wouldn't expect it to hold up to much more than light precipitation, though I expect would still be warm even if wet.
The five-finger liner was a bit of a disappointment in that it is a very basic glove with a jersey-type finish that has no grip at all -- OK for a short flat bar ride but I wouldn't use for road bike brake/shift levers. However, it's super comfy -- fleece inner with all the seams on the outside, very lightweight, and very quick drying. It stays put much of the time but does have a tendency to pull out of the outer when you take the glove off quickly, but is pretty easy/quick to reset. I've used the combo in 9F twice -- once at dawn with no breeze and they were fine, once after dark with a light wind and snow and I got too cold. Above that though, in the more typical 20 - 32F early morning/evening temperature, they've been stellar. I also have used them with a thinner dot liner glove in the 32 - 45F range and got a little sweaty at the top end of the range, but not too damp. I might have had better luck liner-less but the outer feels a sloppy without one. In sum, this is a very versatile glove that I expect to meet my needs for commuting and road rides for several seasons...and I might just get another pair because I've searched so long for something this good!

The ONLY gloves that keep my fingers warm, February 8, 2009
By F. Miller
|
|
I have quite a collection of winter cycling gloves. I've even tried ski gloves - nothing worked! It seems their very thickness was part of the problem because my fingers always got numb, maybe from the lack of circulation. The Craft gloves have a liner... which I seldon need. At 40 degress without the liner, they keep my fingers warm which no other glove has been able to do! I cannot explain why because without the liner, they are thin....

 These Gloves Run Very Small, December 22, 2011
By K. Chiu (Boston, MA)
|
|
Lobster gloves are critical for winter cycling for training and commuting. I have tried a larger number of lobster gloves, and was so eager to purchase these that I bought two pairs online sight unseen.
Unfortunately, I found after receiving them that these gloves run extremely small. I initially purchased size XL, since the Craft sizing chart suggested that. I have purchased similar lobster gloves from Pearl Izumi, Seal Skinz, and Louis Garneau. Size XL always fit me well for those brands, and I wear XL in other Craft gloves.
However, the size XL in this glove (when wearing the liner) was extremely tight. I had to exchange for size XXL, which oddly enough seemed no larger than the XL. I don't know if Craft confused the sizes with womens' sizes. I am male, and the XXL are definitely not what you would expect for mens XXL.
Even with the XXL's, they are pretty tight, so to get them on, you basically have to put on the liner first, then the lobster glove. For commuting cyclists, this is an undesired extra step of complexity. For cold riding, tight gloves don't work as well; you're better off having some space inside the gloves that form a buffer of warm air to keep your hands at body temperature.
I recommend the UK's Seal Skinz waterproof lobster product, if you can find them. I bought them last year, and have been very happy with them.
This Craft product is far inferior to other lobster gloves. The removable inside liner also has poor workmanship. If you wear it by itself, it looks like you're wearing a home-made felt glove made by your child in art class. They could have at least trimmed the edges.
FYI, these Craft gloves are made in Pakistan, for those of you who want to know country of origin for items you buy online.
The one thing I do appreciate about these gloves is the full-fingered liner. I find lobster gloves without the five-fingered interior liner are not as warm as those that do have it. Kudos to Craft for at least getting that right.

 Great gloves, December 10, 2011
By CyclingFiend
|
|
I got these gloves for my fiance, and he really likes them. He says they are very warm for cold weather, and wind-resistant - perfect for long rides. One downside is that he would like to be able to give people the finger (we live in NYC), but he can't. Other than that, they're great!

Better on paper than in the field, February 28, 2012
By JFM1776
|
|
The write-up and claims for effectiveness in extreme cold weather as enumerated by specific temperature numbers were in my estimation exaggerated. Also the quality of the material used was flimsy. I would not but another one of these again.

almost a winner, February 1, 2010
By E. mollen (richmond, va United States)
|

These lobster gloves come with a polyester liner that is not of the lobster type but might work better if it were. My hands are my Achilles; for me the gloves are fine in the thirties, not colder.
They allow good control of the shifters and brakes, unlike the skiing mittens I must use when it is colder.

 Not good for cold weather, January 30, 2012
By Craig...E
|
|
I just got back from my first ride with these in 35 degree weather in NYC and I'm extremely disappointed. My hands were colder than if I wore my (not particularly heavy) five-fingered gloves, and I got those for $10 at a clothing discount store. The big problem is that the wind goes right through these. The tops are some sort of mesh-like material, and the only thing on the thumbs is a double layer of fleece. These would probably be find for riding in the 40s, but that's about all I'd use them for. I think the split-fingered concept is a good one, just not this make/model.

Toasty Warm Lobsta Gloves, January 8, 2012
By Al DeForest
|
|
I went to the lobster finger gloves because my Bellwether finger gloves were not doing the job in the low thirties. The craft gloves do the job and I can keep biking to what I think would be in the mid to low twenties.
They feel great and fit well (I measure a 9 which is a large but went for an X-Large). It seems all biking wear runs smallish. The liners are removable but not designed to wear alone; the seams are on the outside and kind of funky looking alone. If you buy the next size up then you could put in a heavier liner.
The palms could be a bit grippier so one star is dropped.

Almost Perfect, December 22, 2011
By E. Foster
|
|
Let me start by saying that I have bought several pairs of gloves and none have been able to keep my hands warm down below 35F (2C), except these gloves. So why not 5 stars? Well, my fingers seem to still be the slightest bit cold down below 30F (-1C). However, I think if I were to remove the liner and insert one of the other gloves I have this problem will be completely solved. This is one really nice thing about these gloves; you can fit other liners/gloves inside them. They are versatile because of this. Also, I rode in the rain (not really poring) with these gloves and my hands stayed dry and warm. I do prefer a five finger glove, but then my fingers probably wouldn't stay as warm.
