Warm and touch-screen gloves for running

These running and trail gloves are designed for winter sport use. The thumb and index finger feature the touch-screen which allows to use your phone without removing your gloves. We have also designed a 2-in-1 model that converts into a mitten with a windproof and waterproof flap, to protect you when conditions get even tougher.

These running gloves are the best way to keep training through the heart of winter without suffering from cold hands or losing performance! Whether running, cross-country skiing or cycling, our gloves will protect you from the cold.

How do gloves help runners maintain their body heat?

Hands are parts of the body that lose heat rapidly. Wearing gloves protects your hands from the cold and prevents heat loss through this highly sensitive area. It also promotes better blood circulation and helps avoid numbness and unpleasant cold sensations. By preventing wind from reaching the skin directly, they create an insulating barrier that helps maintain body heat. In extreme cold conditions, you reduce the risk of hypothermia by maintaining a more stable body temperature. Opt for breathable, insulating and weather-resistant materials for your comfort during your races.

What are the key criteria when choosing trail running gloves?

Here are the main qualities to look for in a good pair of trail gloves:

- Hand protection against cold air (fleece or merino wool gloves).

- Waterproofing and impermeability in rainy conditions.

- Windproof effect for good insulation against cold air and sub-zero temperatures. 

- Breathable for good air circulation and moisture/sweat wicking to the outside.

- Lightweight for greater comfort and easier to tuck into a small pocket when the weather improves.

- Versatile: opt for running gloves compatible with a smartphone.

- Visibility during evening sessions: it is essential to wear gloves with a reflective element or reflective strips.

For ultra-trail runners or shorter-distance runners, it's important to prepare well before every outing. Leave nothing to chance with our tips.
