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.

I would say no. I wore them motorcycling at +40°F 55mph, the wind felt like it was going right through them. Glad I tested them out before it really gets cold, I need to find a nice pair so I can keep cycling until it snows.

We just ordered 2 190T Bike Covers & have been using them for a couple of weeks now. We've had sunny hot weather & rainy cool weather. During the rainy weather the bikes stayed dry & the strap kept them in place while the wind was blowing. We are very happy w/them. I'm not sure what the difference between the 210T & the 190T is, but since the 210T is out of stock & they are not sure when they will be available if ever, I would have no hesitation ordering the 190T... I like the hold down strap & the additional 2 other tie downs to keep the covers in place during strong winds. They fold up easily & I have been able to put them back in the provided carrying bags... :)

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.

my guess is people who said they're warm don't actually use them in the cold. I used mine to shovel my sidewalk when it was 10* and my fingers were numb in less than 30 minutes. I'd say these "winter" gloves would be great for anything over 40*. (Not winter weather btw)

Living in S Fla and using them as a substitute for riding gloves (good ones cost more) I can only say they've been comfortable when I take my VTX out for 2-3 hrs.. There is a thin inner liner so it's not skin to leather. Well see how it is this summer.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

I can't vouch for their efficacy for that line of work. They are a tight fitting, flexible glove. I actually bought mine to use as light/medium weight motorcycle gloves.

I bought them for my son, who is in a wheelchair. The NE has had one of the worst cold in years, yet his hands never got cold. He said that they sweat. They're the best gloves he has ever owned. I would say that your hands will stay warm, even in ice.

Hey bro!Look, Thor gloves are for mountain bike training. If you want to but gloves for motorcycle you should go to specialized shops. I hope my answer will help you. Best regards. Allan

Funny you should ask... We were bike riding last weekend and stopped at a playground, my son kept his gloves on and seemed to do quite well climbing on everything in sight. These gloves are not padded, which is why I like them for small hands.

It's definitely better than not wearing glasses, but like most, some wind comes through the sides and hits the eyes. I use these on a motorcycle and don't really notice the wind until I am over 40mph. For bicycles I would say you should be fine, but I don't have contacts and don't know how sensitive they would be to the wind.

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.;-)

The way they are vented, I doubt they would keep out much dust. I use them street riding, great for that. Although, for the small price and solid quality I would pick up a pair and try it.

It's summer here and haven't had much wind so I don't know how to answer that. Label states materials are 88% nylon 12% spandex, possibly would be like mostwind breaker jackets? I think there pretty decent quality bike shorts!

I wish I could tell you. Mine are not super tight & it's been super cold where I am & I have found them to be good. Granted--on one case I did add hand warmers but it was 4-degrees & windy.
