Okay, first off, a quick check of the Riv website shows the gloves are
not up there.  So not sure what the status is.

Took a ride yesterday with the gloves.  Temps were about 5F to 8F
above with windchill in the -10 to -15F range.  Because of the
horrible road conditions, did not ride a Riv.  But that's a different
post for a different list.

Anyway, back to the gloves.  They work.  Now, in temps like that, they
didn't keep the fingers toasty warm the entire time.  But the hands
were in and out of the gloves from time to time to take photos.
Discovered the big "fault" of the gloves.  When using both hands to
hold onto an Olympus Tough camera, the glove fingers usually end up in
the photo.  So, not an issue for the gloves.

Overall, did about two hours outside with the gloves on and had no
complaints.  Any colder (like today) and would probably go with winter
"choppers".  But probably could have gone another hour without really
complaining about the fingers getting too chilly.

Happily, will recommend these gloves to anyone willing to try.  Not as
fashionable as bike company designed gloves.  However, on the road, I
find them much, much warmer.

basically unridable and/or unsafe for regular bikes)
