OK, so I tested my new "uber expensive" Ibex gloves today:
http://www.ibexwear.com/F06/View_Pro...&CategoryLine=
I rode a 13 miler this morning at 35 dgrees, and a 20 miler this afternoon at 45 degrees. My hands kept comfortable! Big differnece over my other gloves. The small fit me nicely, and I still have some room to put in smartwool liners if it gets way colder like in the 20's. My hands will be fine now- what a relief. It was awful the other with TWO pairs of gloves on and my fingers in terrible pain from the cold, and that was at 50 degrees! The wind while riding is what makes it so hard to keep warm when biking.
But hey, at this price you can BET I'm going to take really GOOD care of these gloves!
I wore my new balaclava today too and it was just perfect.

Lisa - your link isn't working because they launched their new 2006-2007 line now. Are these the ones you bought ? ($85
)
Woman's Climawool Glove.
There were also another pair for $79 that were similar.Last edited by kelownagirl; 04-19-2008 at 09:03 AM.
