Gloves and mittens

Gloves & mittens: small upgrade, big difference

Your hands cool down fast, especially in wind and low temperatures. Good protection keeps you comfortable and stops you from tensing up or losing pace.

Which type do you need?

  • Gloves → more freedom of movement and grip (ideal for technical trails)
  • Mittens → warmer because your fingers stay together (perfect for extreme cold)
  • 2-in-1 gloves → a glove with a fold-over mitt for changing weather
  • Overmitts → an ultralight waterproof shell over your glove, often mandatory kit for ultras

Choose based on temperature, weather and intensity.

Warmth vs. breathability (stay in balance)

Too warm is just as annoying as too cold. Good models hold in heat but let sweat escape, so your hands stay dry and comfortable while you work hard.

Wind and weather protection (prevent chilling)

Windproof materials make a big difference, even in mild cold. Some gloves are water-repellent or fully waterproof: handy in wet conditions.

Grip & functionality (practical on the move)

Silicone grip on the palm helps with poles and wet surfaces. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips let you use your watch or phone without taking your gloves off.
