Reviews over the
AGU Winter Rain Commuter

Does not do what is promised
So-called wind and waterproof, but the wind comes right through. Still cold hands.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Big disappointment. Waterproof? Forget it !
Purchased these gloves specifically to stay dry in rain. After all, that is what was promised. Especially since I regularly get on my bike several times a day and wet gloves are no fun then. I normally wear size XL. However, the fingers were considerably too short so exchanged for 3XL. These fit just about right in length, although they are now too wide in width. So fit is so-so. The inner lining is of very poor quality and is loose, so the gloves are not always easy to put on. Sometimes it's just frumpy. And then the biggest disappointment: a few drops of water will hold them back, but on my first ride in the rain, they were soaked after only half an hour. Once I got home I let them hang to dry, only to find the next day that they were still wet. Unfortunately, they also dry poorly. My 'regular' gloves dry faster. In short: a big mis-buy, which I will definitely not recommend. As they were not cheap and nevertheless do not live up to the promised properties, I hope Mantel will come up with a suitable compensation.

Do what they are supposed to do: keep wind and water out and therefore stay warm to the touch
Purchased these gloves to be able to continue cycling to work with the S-pedelec next winter. I have now found them to be wind- and waterproof. Lowest temperature so far has been around 5 degrees. I wonder how they will hold up in lower temperatures. With hindsight, I could have easily taken a size bigger to be able to combine them with thin undergloves if the temperature drops below freezing.
