I am looking for reviews of these gloves. I would like to use them for temperatures 0-10 celcius. I avoid riding when raining. Anybody using them?

Hey I only ride a few time a year that cold but, I do ride a more than a few days in the rain and the only gloves that I would recommend are...

I haven't used the ones you are looking at, but I have tried many and they all fail on longer rides...

Sorry dont know if I am too late but I have the Nordic AV Giordana glove which is probably a little lighter than the AV200. This glove is good for anything 5-15 degrees C. I also have the Sotto Zero Giordana which is good for anything below 0 C. Hope this helps a little.

For dry weather, the range of 0-10 Celsius is probably the territory where most people need 2 sets of winter gloves. I don't have experience with the brands mentioned.

I have some Castelli CW3.1 from about 2-3 years ago. These gloves are good for +6 down to maybe -2 Celsius. At 10 C they are way too warm. I have some lighter Castelli Nano XT that I use on days that start out at 5 Celsius and hit 10-12. Neither of these gloves are in the current Castelli lineup but they roughly equate to the Spetaccolo and Scalda Pro current models.
