We have also designed a 2-in-1 model that converts into a mitten, with a windproof and waterproof flap to protect you when the weather gets even harsher.
These running gloves let you keep training through the depths of winter without cold hands or a drop in performance. Whether you’re running, cross-country skiing or cycling, our gloves protect you from the cold.
How do gloves help runners retain body heat?
Hands lose heat quickly. Gloves protect them from the cold and help prevent heat loss through this sensitive area. They also support circulation and help prevent numbness and unpleasant cold sensations. By stopping wind from reaching the skin directly, they create an insulating barrier that helps retain body heat. In extreme cold, maintaining a more stable body temperature reduces the risk of hypothermia. Choose breathable, insulating and weather-resistant materials for comfort on your runs.
What should you look for when choosing trail running gloves?
Here are the key features to look for in a good pair of trail gloves:
- Protection for your hands against cold air (fleece or merino wool gloves).
- Protection against rain and water ingress.
- Wind protection to insulate against cold air and sub-zero temperatures.
- Breathable to allow air to circulate and wick sweat away.
- Lightweight for greater comfort and easy storage in a small pocket when the weather turns milder.
- Versatile: choose running gloves that work with a smartphone.
- Visibility on evening runs: gloves with reflective details or strips are essential.
Whether you run ultras or shorter distances, it’s important to prepare for every outing. Leave nothing to chance with our advice.
