How do these gloves stand up to wind? I need a pair of gloves that will stand up to ~30 mph wind in ~40 F climate for foul weather cycling

They hold up well. I wear them daily in like climate. I do wear a glove liner under them for extra protection and warmth. But if you cycling you should be fine without the liner

I'm not sure how they will hold up to the wind. From my experience in ~40F temps they keep my hands warm even when wet. My gloves are not waterproof and I work outside so when it is raining my hands do get wet but they stay warm. I am not sure how they would do cycling if you aren't moving your hands much if you are prone to cold hands like myself. Also the palm of the gloves is made of little grip "diamonds". They seem to be glued on but have held up so far. I have only had the gloves for a few months and don't use them every day. Hope I helped.

I use the gloves at the farm cleaning and filling waters in cold weather. They will keep your hands dry as long you don't snag them. jI don't any experience with high wind wet conditions.

have only ever used them when in the water; in which case, they're profoundly warm; but dry and in the wind, I honestly can't say. great gloves, nonetheless.

I have been out10-15 MPH wind cleaning tanks. Seem to do fine. Have you tried the US Army 2 glove system Leather glove shell with Wool glove Liner?

I am not sure on the wind factor. I believe they should keep your hands warm. The pair I purchased were for ice fishing.

O rings have been secure enough for me, at least for the two months I have been using the mount. I'd suggest getting a couple of spares for each bike . . . just in case. How will extended periods of sun and rain affect them? As I said, just in case.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

I've recently used these gloves in the mid 20s F and I could definitely feels a minor chill. Later had a cold spell of 8 F with wind chill and my hands were freezing in less than 5 minutes. This was in NYC weather. I just bought lightweight primaloft gloves which handles the same 8 F and with less expense.

Hi,I got these gloves, and I loved it. It's my second pair. It's a large size. I'm a 5'8 and fit perfectly. I love them cause they are long on your arm and gives you a better wrist support. Hope this helps.L.

Yeah they hold up well in the rain, I was on a training rotation with 30 mph winds laying in the rain on a gun team and they held up great. They were soaked on the foam, but I let them dry and they were fine. Didn't shrink it anything

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

They should work just fine, they are water proof as advertised. They are also made for tough work, the fingers have leather protecting from ware n tear and outer is a stretch material for easy movement. They are suppose to keep hands warm unfortunately like all gloves fingers will get cold!!

I use them when outside and driving when temperatures are near 0 or below. I do not like gloves and I have arthritis in several fingers, it works for me.

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

They are not lightweight by any means and can survive winds up to 30mph, anything more than 60mph+, you should just bring them in so they do not get blown away.

I have no idea. We hit wind chills of -30 here a few weeks ago and they are still working fine!

I have not used them in more than a drizzle, but I would say the backs are waterproof while the palms breath, so would not be. However, they wick VERY well, and stay very warm when wet as on any hard ride above 30 I will sweat through the palms. My hands stay warm and come out fairly dry as the gloves wick the sweat away.

The gloves are windproof. As to waterproof, I don't know. It does not rain where I live. They do handle sweat really well.

The information has faded off my pair, I've used them so much. Contact Burt's Bees directly - they have wonderful customer service. I can tell you the gloves have withstood many uses and washings, and are still in good shape.
