what's the lowest temps these have been used in? any 14 deg and below rides? may 20 deg with some serious wind chills?

Ridden in the teens with these. They are very wind proof and usually I wear a pair of tights under them and they are warm and toasty. My feet are the problem! Remember to order Very Big. I am 32" waist, 160# & 5'-11"+ and XXL worked for me.

I have not used them in an area colder than 50F, but being an LED light, these should work fine well below zero.

As of yet the warmest temperature I've used it in was 80 degrees and it was quite comfortable. I've used it at 0 degree temps but was cold. It helped extremely well with the wind though. Best guess 30-85 F.

It has 12% less ventilation than the Aeon, according to Giro, but I have ridden in 100 plus degree weather and still maintained a cool head. Well as cool as you can get in 100 plus degree riding.

Don't know your temps. I am using it for Aqua fit classes in an outdoor pool that is heated to 80 but the winter wind feels cold.

We got to +15 here once and thought we were going to freeze to death! Anyway, I have not tried them that cold, I suspect they'll work just fine since most electronic things like that are good down to -40. We used to live in Edmonton, AB, it hit -47 (without windchill) once, we decided to move.

I don't know exactly how low they will tolerate but I've had mine out in minus -20 degree temps without any problem, its best to use the external 6 volt lead acid battery in its weatherproof enclosure, I also cover the battery case with a plastic bag, this is what I do, I live in upstate central NY , Good Luck and if I can be any more help, just ask Sincerely Mary

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

I have used mine in 32º .. The darn system is impervious to inclement weather. Rain, cold, heat and some serious off road action. Used the bike everyday for almost 2 years now and have only minor fixes to electrical wiring. I highly recommend this product to anyone thinking about converting to a P.E.V.

I wear these below freezing without too much trouble. They're cold for the first mile, but fine for the rest of the ride. I'm surprised anyone can stand to wear them in the 60's as I find them unbearably hot above 50 or so. This just goes to show how differently people perceive warmth.

Yes. Mine is in New England and survived 2 snow storms. Lowest temp thus far about 22.

5+ is the survival rating. I've been down to about 20 degrees with a base layer and wool hat and been just fine. Bet I would have been ok at 10 degrees.

It's been awhile now since I have messed with them. My wife didn't really ride in the cold (since last October) so I haven't moved them. What I do remember is the # of threads showIng that I like and then what she likes. I can't remember the direction, but it's easy to turn the bezel. Start with no threads showing, take ride, then adjust to where more threads are showing (a full turn each time) until you find what you like. For us it's 1 thread showing, and 3 threads showing - depending if it's both of us or just me. If you have bags, just leave them at home while you test ride. I hope you love em. I know it's a lot of $, but I will tell ya - best ride I've had in 35 years of riding Harley's!

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.

I live in Vermont... It's cold here... last winter we were frequently in the -15°F range... These operate on watch batteries - 2nd winter running and I haven't changed them yet. My only suggestion is be careful mounting them with screws, if it's cold and you over-tighten the screw you crack the mounting plate.

I bought mine four years ago from Amazon and am using them right now (0 degree temp outside!!!). I think they may put out a little less heat than they once did (though I'm not sure about that), but they're definitely still usable. Seven hours on, they're keeping my hands very cozy.
