I just bought these as my second pair of winter gloves, and I must say that these gloves are warm, and I have even better feel than the ColdFront Carbon II's!  These gloves rock!

I chose these over the Olympia Weatherking and Ultima because their size small is still too big for me.  I got the Elites in medium, because the small in TM's winter gloves never fit me right, which is weird because I wear small or XS in their summer gloves.

Better than Cold Fronts....hmmm.... I'll have to give those a try! 

You crazy Norcal folks...


I haven't even looked for my zippers to close up my jacket.

I got the Winter Elites last year and they're awesome.  That extra waterproof gauntlet that comes out of the pouch is very nice too when it's either too cold or raining.  I had a chance to test them on my trip to Vancouver back in September, there was one day at Lassen National Park with ~20 deg weather, and man was I happy to have those things.  Like scratch said, they're pretty warm. 

Incidentally the day I bought them I also met the legendary Scratch at Santa Clara Cycle Accesories.  Yes folks, he IS as skinny as the pictures show. 

cool looking gloves.  that rain/wind cover is a sweet idea and I bet effective.  nice to know.

Haha, I was at SCC getting tires, and they asked if I realized that the 140 wasn't stock for the rear. I told them I knew, and then they asked if they were Scratch-approved tires. Next time I'm going to get Scratch to write me a permission slip before I go in!

C'mon Scratch...  Don't you know the rules? 

Article 12, Section 15 CLEARLY states:  "When a product is being reviewed or discussed as the topic of a new thread, the thread originator must post an easily accessible link to the product.  Said link must contain pictures of one or more optional colors, with alternate views whenever possible.  Said link must also contain pricing information when available.

In the extremely rare case of a product not being displayed on-line or in the case of a unique and/or customized product, a personal picture of said product, hosted on a non-log-in required hosting page that allows direct linking, is an acceptable substitute."



Get with it...  Don't make me break out Article 12, section 19 on you.

I had to tell Doug there, that 140's are approved fitment for our bikes.  He repeated back to me, "Scratch approved, huh?".
