these would be a horrible choice , check out the outdoor research gloves the PL150 and the PL400 perfect for what you need.---------------------I completely disagree! Why would these be a horrible choice? These gloves are made with the same fabric that the Synchro Jacket is made from. A thin, waterproof, and breathable conduit softshell material. They are thin and the palm is covered with Pittards goat skin leather (durable and long lasting) Futhermore, I personally use these gloves road biking in cold weather, mountain biking, skate skiing, and ice climbing. These would be the perfect weather resistant gloves for commuting on your bike.The PL 400 is a 400/300 weight fleece glove.The PL 150 is a powerstrech glove.Both good gloves undoubtedly but not softshell, not as thin as the Torsion Glove, and neither has a leather palm.Hope this info helps!
