"Pearl Izumi's PRO PowerShield Gloves are designed for cool and inclement weather on any type of bike ride. With a Polartec PowerShield fabric on the back of the hand and an AX Suede Slim Fleece palm, these low-bulk wind- and waterproof gloves are intended to fend off the elements in cool - but not freezing - temperatures. Unlike many cycling gloves that have a specific end user in mind, Pearl Izumi lists the PRO Powershield for road, gravel, and mountain bike riders."
"I've been testing a pair of the Pearl Izumi PRO Powershield Gloves for the past several weeks. From snow and sun to freezing temperatures and balmy afternoons, the fall weather around here has delivered a little bit of everything. I wouldn't call them perfect, but these gloves have been serving me well and are my new go-to for the majority of my upcoming fall and spring rides."
"In Pearl Izumi's own words, " the PRO Powershield Gloves are built for wet, wind-chilled days when full protection can't come at the cost of control." As such, these gloves are made with their namesake Polartec PowerShield fabric covering the back of the hands and providing a wind- and waterproof barrier. That's mated to an AX Suede Slim Fleece palm that " adds warmth without sacrificing bar feel or responsiveness.""
The PRO PowerShield Gloves pair Polartec PowerShield on the back with an AX Suede Slim Fleece palm to create a low-bulk, wind- and waterproof barrier that preserves bar feel. A stretchy neoprene wrist cuff with Velcro closure helps seal out elements, and the cuff is only slightly more extended than typical summer gloves. The full thumb uses soft, absorbent microfiber for wiping sweat or runny noses, and the index finger and thumb tips are touchscreen-compatible. The gloves are uninsulated and rely on weather resistance rather than insulation to keep hands warm and dry in cool, non-freezing temperatures. Testing across varied fall weather showed reliable performance and established the gloves as a go-to option for many fall and spring rides.
