I've enjoyed a pair of Pearl Izumi Pro winter gloves for many years. It appears I lost them at
The Filthy 50
Do I replacing them with another pair of PI gloves or 45NRTH?
45NRTH Sturfist 4 are $130 - I'm leaning this way since 45NRTH is a hometown brand
Pearl Izumi P.R.O. AmFIB Super Glove are $120 - Can't discount the many happy winter miles with PI gloves
Please let me know if you're riding with either of these glove - I'd like to hear your cheers and jeers.
I'll share my personal history with the PI gloves. I've used them through four Minnesota winters. I find them warm enough that I don't need pogies, even in sub-zero temps (plus I can't use average pogies on the drop-bar Pug). I like that the insulation in these gloves, it keeps hands warm when wet with sweat or what ever you see in the pic below. They've held up in the worst conditions (again, reference below).

Footnote - I have a message out to the lost and found, the race organizer (riding buddy). He's is out of town and will let me know if he has them when he's back home.
