Running Gloves

Whether you're training through the winter or running in chilly morning conditions, keeping your hands warm is essential for comfort, safety, and performance. Running gloves help regulate temperature, reduce heat loss, and maintain mobility without causing overheating.

Key Benefits of Running Gloves

1. Temperature Regulation

Gloves help trap body heat while allowing breathability. This is particularly important as hands are one of the first areas to lose warmth during cold-weather exercise. Warm hands can also aid circulation and joint flexibility.

2. Preventing Heat Loss

Your hands lose heat quickly in cold weather. Proper insulation prevents the body from diverting blood flow away from your extremities, keeping your fingers functional and comfortable throughout your run.

What to Look For in Running Gloves

• Material: Opt for lightweight, synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon that insulate without adding bulk and wick away moisture.
• Fit: A snug fit is important to trap warmth, but gloves shouldn't be too tight. Ensure enough room to move your fingers freely.
• Touchscreen Compatibility: Gloves like the 2XU Run Glove allow you to use your phone or GPS device without removing them.
• Reflective Details: For early or late runs, gloves with reflective elements—like the Ronhill Afterhours Glove—enhance visibility in low light.
• Windproof Protection: For especially cold, breezy runs, windproof gloves like the Ronhill Gore-Tex Windstopper Glove offer maximum protection against the elements.

Care and Maintenance Tips

• Washing: Most running gloves can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always follow the care label instructions.
• Storage: Store in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight to preserve fabric quality and elasticity.

Running gloves are a smart addition to your cold-weather kit.
