Product Information

This pair of waterproof cycling gloves is known for its user-friendly design and high-quality materials. The gloves feature waterproof and windproof material on the outside. In the inside, it is lined with high-quality fleece material that can protect your hands from harmful elements. Please keep in mind that only the surface of the gloves are waterproof so you should not use this on heavy rain and underwater.

Made for the coldest and wettest days out on the bike, these are the only fully waterproof gloves in our guide. They also have padded and grippy palms which silicone strips on the first three fingers and upper palm which gives them good handlebar grip. What you need depends on personal preference, where you’ll be riding, what time of year and the weather and temperature conditions. There are also some particular features to look out for. The type of fabric used will determine the level of insulation, breathability, and comfort that the gloves can give. Some of the most common fabrics that manufacturers use are spandex, lycra, nylon, and synthetics. Some gloves feature a blend of two or more of these fabrics to achieve the perfect mix. • Padding Each glove has been ridden extensively in the conditions for which it was designed. That means we tested the winter gloves in cold, wet conditions, and the summer gloves when it’s warm, to gauge how well they perform for the purpose for which they were intended.

To work out your glove size, run a tape measure (or piece of string you can then lay alongside a ruler) around your palm at its widest point. Use your dominant hand for this.

The cuff has a velcro fastening which keeps it nice and snug against the skin to avoid draughts and keep the warmth inside. How to choose the best winter gloves for mountain biking This is one of the obvious ones; the more insulation, the warmer the glove. But while insulation technology has come on leaps and bounds, meaning it’s possible to get warm gloves without turning your hands into a bunch of banana fingers with little-to-no handlebar control or dexterity, it’s still the case that more insulated gloves are bulkier, so there will be a trade off there.

What Fist has got going for it is the absolute variety of different designs available, from plain Jane to Kim Kardashian, there’s something for everyone. Also, these gloves also feature a metal fiber or carbon construction to maintain the overall integrity, shape, and durability of the gloves. Why You Need to Invest in a New Pair of Cycling Gloves for Winter

Trail conditions in the winter can vary massively from day to day and place to place. One day it might be freezing temperatures, icy and bright, the next you’re dealing with warm and wet and muddy. So the types of glove you should go for is somewhat dependent on the prevailing conditions you ride in, and also how susceptible you are to the cold. What are the warmest MTB gloves?

Some brands will use silicone grippers to increase grip and also make handling stuff such mobile phones easier. Glove designers may also incorporate strategic padding to cushion your hands.
