I first tried the Pro version, but I found the liner to slick and near impossible to get your hands back in once you had ridden a while. In addition the Pro version has a simple leather palm with zero padding, while the Elite version has a synthetic palm with gel padding in key places. I felt these the much better option for me.

Very comfortable, keeps me warm for my 20 min commute to work. Temperature range between 50-0F. I haven't used it below 0 F and for me it's a little to warm above 50 F.Only gripe I have is the strap too tighten around wrist, I wish it was just elastic and I wish it had the capacitive fingers for smart phones.

Just finished my first winter biking with these bad boys and oh man, what difference. I'm in DC, which doesn't get super cold, but certainly teens/windy, and these things were a godsend. My fingers were practically falling off before, but I couldn't find something that looked to be a good, versatile glove (I didn't want the intense crab-claw ones)Very soft/plush on the inside, and great grip. Mainly, though, no wind! Very comfortable, I even wore them on a 50 deg day and didn't get too sweaty. Great glove, if you have cold hands, make the investment. A+
