FORCE ARCTIC PRO gloves, black

I rode in them for two winter seasons on gravel and was satisfied. The fact is that they are thicker and you have to order XL if you wear L, but otherwise great. They were really warm, which I appreciate when my fingers don't bleed. Even for longer rides (50+ km) they were fine at temperatures around 0°C, if it's already very cold, -5-10°C, no gloves with separated fingers work for me. Their thickness is a bit of a disadvantage, especially when shifting, but you can get used to it. I will buy them again.

Jazdil som v nich dve zimné sezóny na graveli a spokojnosť. Faktom je že sú hrubšie a treba objednávať XL ak nosíte L, ale inak super. Bolo v nich naozaj teplo, čo pri mojom nedokrvovaní prstov oceňujem. Aj na dlhšie jazdy (50+ km) boli fajn pri teplotách okolo 0°C, ak je už veľmi zima, -5-10°C nefungujú pre mňa žiadne rukavice s oddelenými prstami. Trochu nevýhodou je tá ich hrúbka, hlavne pri radení, ale dá sa na to zvyknúť. Kúpim si ich znova.

Ok, they were a bit small at first, but after 2 rides they loosened up. Sufficiently warm so far, according to the feeling even around zero will not be a problem (way to so far). I'll fill it in.

V poriadku, najprv boli trošku malé, ale po 2 jazdách sa uvoľnili. Dostatočne teplá zatiaľ, podľa pocitu aj okolo nuly nebude problém (cesta k zatiaľ). Doplním to.

Up to a temperature slightly below zero (max -5°C, individually according to age and individual) - then preferably gloves and split mittens (1+2+3 fingers)

Do teploty slabo pod nulou(max -5°C, individuálne podľa veku a jednotlivca)- potom radšej rukavice delené palčiaky (1+2+2prsty)

great for this price, probably like most Force products, if you want something more luxurious, you have to salt 3x more

za tu cenu parada, asi ako vacsina vyrobkov force, ked chce clovek luxusnejsie, musi vysolit 3x viac

warm weather, tried at -5

teplučko, skušané pri -5

I also had to take size L, the size chart doesn't lie, you can rely on it when buying. The cuff stitching in the wrist area is roughly processed, otherwise quite comfortable on the hands. I won't comment on the functionality, I plan them for occasional more civilian use (maybe I would then lower the rating to 3*, but I'll leave it at 4*).

Tiež som musel zobrať veľkosť L, veľkostná tabuľka neklame, pri kúpe sa na ňu môžete spoľahnúť. Prišitie manžety v oblasti zápästia hrubo spracované, inak na rukach celkom pohodlné. K funkčnosti sa nebudem vyjadrovať, plánujem ich na občasné civilnejšie použitie (možno by som potom znížil hodnotenie na 3*, ale takto nechám 4*).

Personal impression:
In a comparison of Kellys Cape, Force Ultratech, Warm and Arcticpro gloves, as far as the feeling of temperature is concerned, the following order is for me:
1.-2. Force Arcticpro (but also the thickest) and Kellys Cape
3.-4. Force Ultratech and Warm.

Osobný dojem:
V porovnaní rukavíc Kellys Cape, Force Ultratech, Warm a Arcticpro, čo sa týka pocitu teploty u mňa nasledovné poradie:
1.-2. Force Arcticpro (ale aj najhrubšie) a Kellys Cape
3.-4. Force Ultratech a Warm.

A little thicker and the derailleur, brakes are difficult to control, and the steering wheel is hard to hold due to the thickness of the material, and by the way, it wasn't cold around 0 degrees in them, which I rate very positively!

Trošku hrubšie a zle sa ovláda prehadzovačka, brzdy a ťažkopádne sa drží volant kvôli hrúbke materiálu apropo nebolo mi v nich zima okolo 0 stupňov, čo hodnotím u mňa veľmi pozitívne!

I wanted warm gloves for sub-zero temperatures and they are really warm. The size should definitely be taken bigger than usual and there is worse momentum in them due to the thickness of the material.

Chcel som teplé rukavice do mínusových teplôt a sú fakt teplé. Veľkosť treba brať určite väčšiu než bežne a je v nich horšia hybnosť kvôli hrúbke materiálu.

Quite thick gloves, size XXL could be a little bigger, but they can work in them even in -4, so far tried.

Dost hrube rukavice, velkost XXL by mohla byt este trosku vacsia, ale da sa v nich fungovat aj v -4, zatial vyskusane.

My fingers were already frozen in it at around 0 degrees within 2 hours. I would rather use it at around 3-4 degrees.

0 fok körül , 2 óra alatt már nagyon le fagytak benne az ujjaim. Én inkább 3-4 fok körül fogom használni.

They are wintery, but not to severe frosts.

Su zimne ale nie do vacsich mrazov.

?

👍

Too rude. I can't imagine riding in them on gravel with gravel handlebars. I return.

Prilis hrube. Neviem si predstavit v nich jazdit na graveli s gravel riadidlami. Vraciam.

After the bite, I returned and now I ride Force Warm. Force ARCTIC PRO were already very rough and even XXL were not comfortable enough.

Po odskusani som vratil a teraz jazdim Force Warm. Force ARCTIC PRO boli uz velmi hrube a ani XXL neboli dost pohodlne.

Na to aké sú hrubé som čakal lepší tepelný komfort

I was cold at around 0°C.

Pri teplote okolo 0°C mi bola zima.

Gross, but that fest gross!!!

Hrubé, ale že fest hrubé!!!

I can't comment on the warmth of the gloves because I haven't tried them on, but they are completely out of size. I normally wear L-XL and I could barely fit these in the XL and the 2XL wasn't much bigger either. Realistically, I would bet them on bigger MLs. Anyone with a bigger hand than me will be disappointed and have to choose elsewhere. In addition, in one place, the seam was starting to loosen significantly...with the new gloves!
On the other hand, the Force Hot Rak Pro mittens fit me nicely even in XL (the 2XL was already too loose), but I couldn't imagine shifting and handling the bicycle.

K hrejivosti rukavíc sa vyjadriť nemôžem lebo som ich nevyskúšal, ale veľkostne sú úplne mimo. Bežne nosím L-XL a tieto v XL som ledva natiahol na ruky a ani 2XL neboli oveľa väčšie. Reálne by som ich tipol tak na väčšie M-L. Kto má väčšiu ruku, ako ja, bude sklamaný a musí vyberať inde. Okrem toho na jednom mieste už začínal výrazne povoľovať šev...u nových rukavíc!
Naproti tomu palčiaky Force Hot Rak Pro mi krásne sedeli aj v XL (2XL už boli príliš voľné), ale nevedel som si v tom predstaviť radenie a manipuláciu s bajkom.
