Outdoor Research Arete Glove - Men's
Warm Enough

These gloves are good enough for a relatively warm day or for active pursuits like touring. The shell is good and the liners are decent, I tend to wear the liners separate and I have some fleece liners inside the glove shells to boost their usability in colder weather. The gloves actually allow more dexterity with thicker liner gloves cause they are a bit baggy with the thin liners. Overall they are versatile gloves, but it requires an investment in a second set of liners. The gore shells are great by themselves on warm, wet days, the shells with stock liners are good to about 25 degrees F, and with a new set of liners you can push 0 degrees F
