What is the fabric of these gloves? She rides but it's very warm where we live and I don't want winter-style material.

They are on the 'thick' side and I do not recommend them for warm weather areas...

The gripping part is suede and the other in between is breathable. We live in Florida and the gloves work very well here.

They're not really winter gloves, they're single layer - faux suede palms and cloth back. I use them through the summer so If you're looking for heavier gloves SSG makes another style that is lined that you'd be better off with.

They will not keep hands comfortably warm if exposed to 10-20 degree weather for more than 15 minutes. I bought them for my wife to use during her commute to and from work. There are stand alone stick on pads called digits that you can apple to any gloves that will do the same thing.

No they would not be warm enough for biking in below zero temps. That's not what they were made for. They are meant to retain water so one may keep their body temperature more easily. If you want something to handle very cold water, you want something thicker or made for that kind of thing. These are more for mildly cold and warm water. If you want to bike in below zero temps then just buy winter gloves or something.

Yea, no kidding, it's freezing where I am...I don't wash them outside in the winter, I just spray with 409 or some anti-bacterial cleaner and wipe them out. Stay warm!

They're microfiber. So they're not cotton. They're incredibly soft and breathable though.

I honestly don't know what the fabric is offhand, but I can tell you that they are very, very thin. Because of that, they might be a good option for someone who is too warm when they sleep, but one of the previous people answered that they are 60% polyester and 40% cotton....

Yes/No.Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material.No: These are shorts, with a breathable material.Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

it all depends what you consider 'warm' ... living in the midwest and dealing with horses etc. etc. ... they hold up well down to about 10 degrees and no wind ... beyond that ... even with a silk liner glove and working ... NO ...

The material is a combination of spandex & (I think) cotton - it's stretchy. It's not too thin, so it's better than no coat at all, but if you have a choice, you should use a wool, or heavier jacket. They aren't waterproof.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

It doesn't indicate on the package what they are made of. However, they feel somewhat slippery, so I would guess they are a cotton/something synthetic blend. (I checked the package but it doesn't say anything.)

The gloves are suede with no silicone or rubber, but grip has not been an issue for me. They are lightweight. In fact, it is the same glove as the Pearl Izumi I used to have.

The gloves do breathe, but overall your hands will be warmer - if your palms get hot already, I imagine wearing gloves would only make it worse, unless for some reason the heat is coming from the steering wheel, in which case they might provide some minimal insulation.

It's like a mesh very thin fabric (not soft, but not uncomfortable either) - none of the pairs that have been used in my house have broken or ripped or anything. Hope this helps.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.
