Alpha Winter Gloves - Black

Good construction/design

Good construction and design overall. They fit well in the hands, but the fingers were a little too long. Though they felt great when I slipped a hand inside, my hands became a little cold toward the end of the first ride. Again, they look well made. But there's a seam at the top of the cuff where the outer joins the inside insulation, which looks a little precarious, like it might separate over time.

Thin but toasty

Top tier balance of warmth to thickness! I've been using these in pogies while fatbiking in northern MN this winter, for the uphills while ski touring, and for XC skiing. They've proven to be nicely water resistant and windproof while also breathing pretty well when the going gets sweaty. Compared to my previous thin winter bike gloves they're noticeably warmer. Highly recommend! My only note is that they seem to fit a little small in my case so if you're in between sizes size up.

Best cold weather gloves I've found

These are the best cold riding gloves I've found, and I've tried quite a few! They are the perfect weight for cold-ish (low 40s) Bay Area riding but nicely, also have some good padding on the hand side for comfort (unusual, it seems, in most gloves) and phone screen touch capable as well!
