A new take on a winter cycling glove. The Alpha borrows know-how from our advanced Alpha System of jacket + mid-layer and incorporates that concept into an extremely warm yet lightweight glove. Inspired by high alpine mountaineering, the concept combines our DVStretch Softshell outer layer for wind/water protection with Polartec's Alpha Direct inside for its high warmth-to-weight insulating qualities, in a newly developed 3D pattern. The result is our warmest glove, capable of temps below freezing while maintaining a light low-bulk feel with unmatched dexterity.

Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.

the gloves fit is spot on but they below 5 degrees i would go for some lobster etc gooves. no smartphone tips though.
It hasn’t been cold enough to use these in the temperatures they were designed for but as they are too warm for 8 degrees outside I’m taking that as a good sign. The most comfortable cold weather glove I have come across, more flexible than my Autumn gloves. Hopefully they will live up to the temperature rating, but excellent quality material as I have come to expect from Velocio.
Warm gloves but not as warm as expected. Keeps my hands warm till about 7degrees Celsius. Below that, I need some extra thin gloves underneath. Great colour, great fit though.
Yeap these things work, which is odd given the thickness...that being southern UK winter temps .. max -3 with added wind-chill.
I bought the zero gloves previously but they weren’t warm enough in v cold weather. I bought these to cover the colder days. I actually don’t notice a difference between the gloves . I have been out in 1-3 degrees and still have v cold fingers. On the positive side these gloves don’t get sweaty, wash v well, are light to wear and look good but just don’t quite do the temperature suggested by brand.
