Does what they are supposed to do
I have been looking for a pair of gloves to get me from 48 degrees down to my electrics. I have a summer weight pair of Helds and this tipped me in favor of these.
The fingers are long at first but you appreciate that once you've gripped your bars for awhile. The zip and cuff make it easy to wrap over your coat sleeve. Bulky? Sure, but so is everything else you're wearing (excepting electrics) if you're needing these gloves.

Not to0 bad
the gloves are nice. had to get a size lager for my finger length, witch is stated on there sizing so that's cool. My fingers did get cold @ around 50" on a short ride home from work. I don't really think these are much better than any other cheaper options.

very disappointing performance
The thick Primaloft insulation make this glove bulky; the trade-off supposedly for superior frigid temp protection, but I found both the pure insulative properties and the poor performance of the Gore-Tex liner to block the wind from permeating the fingers to be really lacking. Poor tactile feel of handlebar controls due to the bulk also fatigues the hands on longer rides. These obscenely-priced gloves don't protect from bitter/extreme conditions any better than any other winter glove down past 45 degrees, thus I am totally disappointed... numb fingers pretty quickly. Too bad; they are beautifully constructed and finished... really nice to look at and feel (only).

Very nice gloves
These are very nice quality cold weather gloves. I rode in rain for an hour at 50% and my hands stayed warm and dry (with grip heaters). I did feel like the gloves wouldn't keep my hands warm if the temperature were much lower. The gloves should be good down to 45 degrees. Very nice size and length of gauntlet. I recommend you start with the gloves snug, since they do loosen up after only a few hours of riding. The gloves have longer fingers than other brands like Rev'It. The thumbs are about a half inch too long for me. I tried several brands and these are keepers for me.

Good product at above average price
I live in the NW and like to commute (50 minutes) as deep into Fall as possible on my bike. I bought these gloves hoping they would help me do so without having to deal with price/hassle of heated gear. Unfortunately, as the mornings got below 48 degrees, the gloves proved less than effective. Even with a liner, at 45 degrees my hands were icicles after 30 minutes of riding. I suppose for unheated gloves they work as well as anything else, but if you're looking for something that is going to actually keep your hands from freezing during rides longer than 30 minutes, in anything under 48-46 degrees then you're best bet is heated gear.

I like my new gloves
I truely like my gloves their comfortable, warm, Abit snug and bulky but I guess they have to be against the weather.

They keep your hands warm
I am a rider for one year, relatively inexperienced, but I ride in a cold climate, where one must have some kind of protection against wind blast in early spring and in fall. Winters are out for us. That having been said, I already own five pairs of gloves in my quest to keep my piano-playing fingers warm and dry. In my collection is a pair of "no-name" gloves which look exactly like my Held gloves. I purchased the no-names last fall and was amazed to find that as heavy as they were, I could feel the assault of cold air at 45 degrees. A break in period for heavy, stiff gloves that didn't keep my hands warm was hardly worth the effort. After reading many reviews of all the Held products, I plunked down about four times the cost of my no-names for a pair of Held Freezers. In my first ride, I found that they, too, will require a break in period, but the sensation of cold air blast against my hands is entirely gone. I was once again riding in 45 degree weather, but my hands remained warm, even without heated grips. I will not issue an estimate in temperature as to when one would need heated grips, but at 45 degrees, these gloves do a great job. That quality alone makes them worth the cost. Do, by all means, order your pair at least ONE size larger than your normal size, or take advantage of the provided sizing tool. Do not skimp on your measurement. Round off to a higher number.

Very disappointed!
I bought these gloves because I wanted the warmest non heated glove I could find. I already owned a pair of warm weather Held gloves that I wear all the time and LOVE them. I was a little disappointed when the "freezer" gloves arrived as they don't look like they have any any obvious protection features. Then when I wore them out on 40 -50 degree rides My cold hands were all I could think about. I'm buying Gore -tex next time! Great company, poor product!

While most gloves sold in the US are offered in alpha sizes (Small, Medium, Large, etc), Held gloves are sold in numeric glove sizes. The most accurate way to choose a glove size is to measure your hands using the directions and charts below. To get an idea of what Held Glove sizes correspond to in typical american gloves, a conversion guide is included below just to get you started in the right direction.
