Received these gloves Wednesday evening last week and have used them every day for one whole week. Temps ranged from a low going to work of about 60*F (last Friday morning) to a high (today, Thursday) on the way home from work of 98*F (heat index of over 112*F). I count this as a very good test of the range of temps in which I was hoping to use these gloves. At the low temp they were good. I can see these taking me down into the mid 50s*F which is just where I wanted. I have my TM Polar-Tex 2.0 gloves for below that to freezing (then it's heated gloves below that). I ride in all temps in central Iowa where the range all year can be from below zero*F to over 100*F and I hae been at both ends different times of the year. These gloves are also good at the high end of the range and at 98*F today with the heat index they were still comfortable, though getting very warm as ANY summer glove would be. There was some rain on my riding one day and I have rain covers for that. These worked well even then. They are very comfortable at all temps tested and the lining helped make them even more comfortable than I think they would have been. That lining did not seem to make them any hotter at hot temps and didn't seem to slow down any of the plentiful air flow through these gloves. I still have an old pair of Cortech DX summer gloves which can be not as hot as these Summer Elite 3 gloves but not by much. I was surprised by how much air flowed through these Elite 3 gloves. The big difference between these two pairs of gloves is that the DX gloves are too light for low 60s or 50s and the Elite 3 will still work for me there. Sizing is consistant with other TM gloves I have owned. I am at the high end of XL per the measuring guide on this web site and they fit perfect for me. Now I can downsize from two pair to one pair of gloves for temps over 55*F. Overall I am very happy with these. Thanks!
