Riding in winter presents a unique set of challenges and chief among them is the need to keep your hands warm. This means you should invest in some winter gloves!
Some experts suggest that, as main features, they should be waterproof and warm. They advise to choose gloves that include some form of protection as well. Therefore, make sure your gloves have a high quality thermal lining. We all feel the cold differently so while one person’s hand may feel toasty, another person may feel cold in the same gloves, but that will be more about circulation rather than the thermal lining not working. Also have a little space in your glove so you can trap a layer of warm air inside the glove, don’t wear winter gloves too tight. A windproof inner glove is also a great way to combat cold fingers but you will need a little more room in your glove to accommodate this extra layer.
Leather or textile? Obviously leather offers more protection but it may be affected by water more than a textile glove. However, leather gloves that use a waterproof membrane as well have the insert bonded to the inside of the glove so this stops saturation of the leather because it keeps water outside.
