These summer gloves comfortable, well-made, and reasonably priced. They highlight the gloves’ lightweight construction, good fit, and effective ventilation for warm weather. While providing decent protection, some noted these gloves are not ideal for long distances or rainy conditions. Many users recommended sizing up for a better fit. Overall, the gloves are praised for their comfort, coolness, and value, making them highly suitable for short rides and hot temperatures.
I have used them in temperatures as low as 8 degrees and as high as 28 degrees, not a problem for comfort. I used them recently whilst riding around Tenerife. My hands were comfy all day (320km riding day).

An update on these. I wore them for the majority of the Longest Day Challenge (probably for the best part of 800 miles and 24 hours). I must say my hands were comfortable all the time and not once did they feel cold.
