Pearl Izumi P.R.O. AmFIB Glove Review

Just when I thought I could store these gloves away for the summer, winter reared it’s ugly head again with a spring snowstorm and a week of cold temperatures here in Colorado.

I have a low tolerance for cold hands, and mine get cold quickly. And once they’re cold, I can rarely recover, which means either I suffer through the ride or turn around. I prefer neither of those options. When it comes to cycling gloves, Pearl Izumi set the bar high many years ago. For years, I’ve relied on an old (really old!) pair of Pearl Izumi AmFIB lobster gloves to keep my hands warm during winter rides. I put the the new AmFIB P.R.O. gloves to the test in the nastiest conditions this winter, from commutes in the low teens to mid-snowstorm nordic skiing, and returned home with warm, dry, and comfortable hands each time.

You have a lot of choices for cycling gloves these days, but Pearl Izumi proves again that they make some of the best winter gloves available. You won’t be using cold, wet hands as your excuse to turn around on those lonely winter training rides with these gloves.
