The best cool and wet weather cycling gloves fit perfectly, don't bunch up under your palm, keep you warm, dry, and protected. Of course they need to be light, touchscreen compatible, and have grip and tactile capability. So when Pearl Izumi created the P.R.O. Softshell Lite Glove, they used their own lightweight, flexible, multi-layer breathable material. A coating of DWR was added to the back for extra wind and water protection. 50g Primaloft Gold insulation sits over the back of the hand to defeat on-rushing cold air, and the interior was lined with a soft brushed fleece to keep your hands dry and comfortable. That's a great start.

Add in the Colorado company's anatomic 1:1 glove design, a synthetic Clarino leather palm and conductive synthetic leather on the induex finger and thumbs, a simple pull-on fit, and an extended gauntlet-style cuff to seal out drafts and hold heat in. Are you checking off the boxes? This is the latest Pearl Izumi PRO Softshell Lite Glove, and the best iteration yet. Made in unisex sizing, with silicone grip on the fingers and palms, and don't forget the reflective elements to increase safety through visibility. If you regularly ride in temperatures from 35-50° F you owe yourself a pair of these gloves. Your hands will thank you later.
