Sure, there are days that are too cold to ride, but if you have the Giro 100 Proof Gloves, you can count those too-cold days on one hand, because these waterproof, breathable, and highly insulated lobster mitts will keep you protected when you really need it.

With the extra-warm split-finger design, the 100 Proof's intent is crystal clear: to keep you riding when temperatures drop well below freezing. Its 100g Thinsulate XT-S insulation provides ample warmth without excess bulk, and the X-Static AGrid antimicrobial fleece lining helps you stay toasty while it fights off unpleasant odors. To keep the insulation working even when conditions are wet, the 100 Proof features a Hipora waterproof and breathable membrane to keep out water and wind, and a synthetic Clarino palm that keeps you dry and provides lightweight abrasion resistance and palm padding.

The 100 Proof gloves don't stop there. They have an extended merino wool cuff that keeps out drafts and stays warm even if it gets wet, and plenty of reflective detailing to help you stay visible when you're on the road. Giro also designed the glove with Touchscreen Technology, so you can check your ride stats without having to de-glove and risk freezing your fingers.

When you're getting ready to commute through freezing temperatures, throwing on your down ski gloves that are just a little soggy from the weekend may seem like the best way to protect your hands. But we can assure you, it's not. Keep your hands warm and protected while retaining control over shifting and braking in traffic with Giro's Proof Gloves.

The Proof Gloves look the part of full-blown winter kit, but thanks to their removable polyester insert, they're actually far more versatile than you might expect. You have the option of using the fleece liners to keep your digits warm in more moderate temperatures, and the silicone grippers at the fingertips add grip to keep you in control.

The liners are useful, but when the mercury falls, the waterproof, breathable shell starts to shine. With a blend of Primaloft and Thinsulate XT-S insulation, the shell packs ample warmth without bulk. It's designed using Giro's Super Fit Engineering, which considers the mechanics of your hand, as well as glove construction, to maximize dexterity. This gives the gloves a contoured fit, and the Clarino synthetic leather on the palms ensures you'll have a solid grip on the handlebars. The fingertips employ touchscreen compatible technology, so you can keep your gloves on when you need them most and still be able to answer your phone.

On some winter rides, a soft, insulating pair of gloves is exactly what you want — especially if you're doing steady base miles without much change in pace or terrain. But when you're racing in the cold and need to protect your hands without compromising control in the cockpit, reach for Giro's Neo Blaze Gloves.

Made with waterproof Pertex fabric on the main body, the gloves use functional materials to keep water and wind out while remaining as streamlined as possible. For further protection, Giro also adds a waterproof Hipora liner, and Clarino synthetic leather on the palm deals with rain and road spray by adding grip for wet shifters and brakes. An extended cuff allows you to maintain coverage under your jacket or jersey, and glued seams throughout ensure no amount of winter's worst will penetrate the gloves.

Cyclocross races don't stop when the temperature falls and you can't tell if it's raining or snowing (or both) on the course. Whether you're racing or heading out on your daily commute, you're probably already aware of how important it is to invest in the right gloves for cold-weather riding. Giro's Pivot gloves will protect your hands from wintry conditions while still providing the dexterity you need on the bike so you aren't left feeling like you're riding in ski mittens.

Giro starts with an anti-microbial X-Static fleece liner, which will insulate your hands from the cold and wick moisture away from your skin to keep the gloves from getting soggy over the course of a ride. The gloves' outer shell is what keeps the elements out, so it's constructed with a Pertex waterproof shell and a Hipora waterproof liner to act as a barrier against rain and wind.

Giro includes Clarino synthetic leather on the palms to give you grip on the handlebars and hook-and-loop straps so you can adjust the cuffs of the gloves to protect your wrists. The gloves are constructed with Giro's 3-panel palm design, ensuring they'll be contoured to your hands for the duration of your ride rather than bunched up after a few miles.

Wearing the right glove in cool but not cold weather can be a tricky affair. We've worn many gloves designed for these conditions that have left us with either clammy hands or wanting something warmer. We found Giro's Inferna to possess Goldilocks properties in this climate. It features a women specific fit and works so perfect in spring and fall conditions, we keep it in heavy rotation during those times of the year.

The Super Fit 3-panel design is engineered for female hands and yields a snug, yet comfortable fit that doesn't bunch in the palm. The Polartec Windbloc backhand takes the sting out of early morning cool canyon breezes and it doesn't absorb moisture. Microfleece lining provides an excellent environment for the hands while putting in big early season miles or slipping out for some late afternoon openers before the weekend cross race. We love the simplicity of a slip-on glove and the Inferna allows for easy on and off and the neoprene cuffs keeps the elements out. Touchscreen compatible fingertips are standard for staying connected and the beautiful screen print polka dots offer a bit of stylish visibility.

• Super Fit 3-panel design offers an excellent female fit
• Water-resistant Polartec Windbloc keeps hands happy
• Reflective screen-print for superior visibility
• Strategic gel padding cushions the blows without bulk

Protect your hands from cold, damp weather, while enhancing your grip and comfort with Giro's Ambient Gloves. They combine a water- and wind-resistant, breathable softshell upper, complete with an XStatic AGrid antimicrobial thermal fleece lining for warmth and breathability.

The Ambient Gloves also feature a Clarino synthetic leather palm for excellent dexterity while 3mm of EVA padding disperses pressure and vibration for long-lasting comfort. Rubber pull tabs keep installation simple, and reflective details add low-light safety.

Giro's mastery of creating well-thought out, highly functional cold-weather gear continues with the excellent Ambient II glove. We feel these cool-riding gloves do such a great job in the cold and wet, they could give a lot of ski gloves a run for their money.

Super Fit engineered 5-fingered design allows the gloves to fit well, like a glove. Reaching for the controls is unencumbered and bar feel is very impressive considering this glove packs so much warmth. The double wrap on the first two fingertips is a highlight we really appreciated. These two digits see more exposure to the cold air so it makes sense to give these guys a little more coverage without having to scale up the entire glove. The Polartec Windbloc is responsible for keeping the hands cozy and are perfect when the temps are between 35-45° Fahrenheit. Both the palm and the backhand are water resistant and keep hands dry short of a downpour.

Strategically placed gel padding continues the less-is-more mantra and added all day comfort sans bulk. Subtle reflective details keep aesthetics and visibility high. As we have come to expect from all Giro long-fingered gloves, the fingertips are touchscreen compatible.

• Polartec Windbloc soft shell is water and wind resistant
• Ax Suede Echo patches aid in grip and durability
• Optimized gel padding increases comfort
• Super Fit engineered 5-finger fit ensures proper fit

Brisk early spring and late fall days present a conundrum of glove choice that usually leaves us with either numb fingers or roasting palms and struggling to find the perfect balance of cool weather paw coverage. Giro's Blaze II Gloves may be just what we've been looking for to fill that in-between season gap in our glove collection, with mid-weight insulation and a soft, fleecy interior that balances warmth and breathability to bridge the temperature gap without any unnecessary bulk. Whether you're rolling out for a day in the dirt, pinning on a number at a local 'cross race, or lining up at the first practice criterium of the year, these glove will keep your fingers warm and protected from the chill.

• Long-fingered gloves for chilly days
• Mid-weight insulation is ideal for brisk fall and spring rides
• Soft fleecy lining provides warmth
• Durable Clarino palm
• Silicone detailing improves grip on bars

When you start to feel that telltale chill in the air on a fall ride but can't seem to find where you tucked your knit gloves last spring, you know you don't have too long before your hands are paying for your absentmindedness. Since your old gloves were ready for retirement anyway, now's as good a time as any to upgrade to the Giro Knit Merino Wool Glove. Instead of a classic synthetic knit, this glove comes crafted from New Zealand merino wool. It'll regulate your body temperature as you navigate frosty fall mornings and warm, sunny afternoons so that you don't end up soaked and clammy by the time you pull up at the coffee shop. Touchscreen-compatible fingers mean you can navigate your touchscreen computer or snap a quick picture of fall foliage without risking a dropped glove on the side of the road.

• Streamlined glove won't disrupt your fall riding rhythm
• Merino construction regulates temperature in any weather
• Touchscreen-compatible fingers let you snap a quick photo
• Grippy palms enhance dexterity in wet conditions

Cold, wet hands are no bueno and Giro's updated Pivot II gloves launches a two-pronged attack against both by keeping water out and warmth in. The gloves are equipped with an OutDry membrane that provides a formidable barrier against outside moisture while still allowing our hands to breathe quite well. While we probably wouldn't voluntarily start a cold ride in the wet, it's nice to know that if we get caught out in some rain or if we're toeing the line of sloppy cyclocross race, at least our hands are prepared.

The membrane is permanently bonded to the inside of the glove shell fabric to reduce bulk. Combining this with the Super Fit 5-finger design, this glove has great dexterity and bar control. AX Suede Echo patches add palm durability and help clutch wet bar tape and grips, while a large microfiber sweat wipe adds a soft touch for drying the brow when the going gets tough or wiping the schnoz when cool weather makes things messy. Touchscreen compatibility lets us check the radar on our weather app so we can gauge if we're riding into or out of precipitation.

It's nice to know with all of the technology on the outside of the glove that the lining wasn't forgotten. AGrid anti-microbial thermal fleece lining keeps our hands pampered on the inside of the gloves. In the right conditions, the Pivot II is super capable and without compromise.

• Cycling gloves for chilly, inclement conditions
• OutDry membrane keeps water out, a key to staying warm
• AGrid anti-odor fleece lining keeps hands warm
• Touchscreen technology for mobile device use
• Super Fit 5-fingered design contours gloves to hands
