Warm and touchscreen-compatible gloves for running

These running and trail gloves are designed for sport in winter. The thumb and index finger feature the touch-screen that allows you 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 keep your hands protected from the cold.

How do gloves help runners maintain their body temperature?

Hands are one of the areas of the body that lose heat quickly. Wearing gloves protects your hands from the cold and prevents heat loss through this highly sensitive zone. It also promotes better blood circulation and prevents numbness and unpleasant cold sensations. By stopping the wind from reaching the skin directly, gloves create an insulating barrier that helps maintain body temperature. In extreme cold conditions, they reduce the risk of hypothermia by keeping your core temperature more stable. Opt for breathable, insulating, and weather-resistant materials for comfort during your runs.

What criteria should you consider when choosing trail running gloves?

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

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

- Waterproofing and water resistance in wet conditions.

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

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

- Lightweight for greater comfort and easier storage in a small pocket when the weather is milder.

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

- Visible during this evening session, it is essential to wear gloves with a reflective element or reflective strips.

For ultra-trail runners or those racing shorter distances, it is important to prepare thoroughly before every outing. Leave nothing to chance with our tips.
