Hey hows it goin? I use icon gloves, and i have to say i got no complaints about them. Really sturdy and not bad for warmth, depending on how cold it is outside. I live in canada so the weather now is cool but, I just got back from a ride bout an hour ago and my hands were more than warm enough. Cant go wrong with icon! Hope this helps.

thanks. i live in michigan so it gets pretty cold and snowy but i only need something that will keep me warm through fall.

i bought a icon helmet and like it and it seems well built so i thought i might give one of their other products a try to.

thanks for the info

Hi,
I have Icon Merc gloves and like them lot. I picked mine up for $45 on the bay. they do fine in warm weather and tolerate the cold well. My hands start to go numb after 30 minutes when it is below 45 degrees. I keep meaning to get some silk glove liners to wear with them, but never think about it till I'm out in the cold. Above 45 I don't have any problems, below that it takes a little while, but my hands do get cold. They are great gloves and recommend them.

I just got my Icon Merc short gloves today. They are heavier in person than they look in the pictures, but have a nice feel to them. I was planning on getting a liner of some sort but may not need to. They have a nice comfy liner built right in and are quite flexible. The carbon fiber is a nice touch too, and is hinged so as to not impede movement.

I'll throw a nice big thumbs up at these.

i just got the icon timax short gloves. they feel really nice and well made. good padding and they seem like they would be pretty warm.

I have a pair of the hooligans that I use for work and riding.... almost to warm to work in, but just right for riding in cooler temps imo
