I have the PI Amphib Lobstahs. Nice and warm. Not breathable. Be sure to try them out after every ride. Stuffing newspaper or paper towels inside the gloves usually does the trick.

I have a pair of Magmas. I find them too warm above around 15°F.

I was disappointed to find the inner liner had regular fingers, rather than being lobsterized. Plus my pinkie and ring fingers kept getting stuck in the liner when I took them off.

Over the summer I had someone rip the liner apart and re-sew the fingers together so the liner is lobsterized as well. This solved all my issues with these gloves. I love them now (but only when it's cold enough.)

One of the things I like best is the palm vent. That teeny-tiny little vent lets in just enough fresh air that my palms stay dry.
