Tendaisy Warm Thermal Gloves Cycling Running Driving Gloves

Product Information

Designed with a three-layer construction, they are warm and durable, yet breathable enough that they don’t become uncomfortably clammy inside (though we don’t recommend them for warmer months). The practical foam pressure point padding is good for grip, and you also get a PU suede thumb wiper. As for performance, the softshell design does a relatively good job of keeping the wind at bay while remaining breathable, and it’s also emblazoned with a rather distinctive reflective pattern that makes them well suited to cycling at night or during twilight. You’ll have no problems getting a good fit with the Firestorm, since they’re available in a wide range of sizes from XS to 2XL. In fact, besides not being a great choice for the very harshest of winter conditions, these Altura gloves are a very good all-rounder indeed. With a cheaper pair of cycle gloves, you’re not going to get the waterproof, deep winter protection that other more expensive options offer. But if you’re the type of cyclist who would rather not brave torrential downpours in sub-zero temperatures anyway, then the Altura Microfleece gloves are a comfortable and affordable option.

They also have a conductive hydrophobic palm material, reflective details and a thumb wiper for sweat and runny noses.

The best winter cycling gloves to buy

Normal winter gloves can put in good service at a variety of temperatures but will only be useful if they can retain heat in wind or rain. What material do I need?

Key features – Sizes: Small, medium, large, XL, XXL; Colours: Grey, navy blue; Touchscreen compatible? Yes The Altura Microfleece gloves are obviously not designed for the most freezing conditions (as the price should reflect), but they’re a modest and decent pair of gloves for the casual or commuting cyclist. Depending on how cold and warm your hands may get, it’s necessary to think about how many sets of gloves you might want. If you can only fork out for one set, make sure you set some priorities. Would you prefer to be warm in cold weather but too hot when it’s mild, or comfortable when it’s mild and get slightly chilly when the temperature approaches 0°C? How warm do my gloves need to be? As far as waterproofing is concerned, SealSkinz has a great reputation, and these gloves are a decent affordable pair for all-weather protection, whether that be rain, wind or cold. Wool gloves are generally much more durable, lightweight and more pleasant to the touch. However, they offer much less protection against the wind, as wool is naturally porous.Finally, consider what happens with runny noses in deep winter. Some gloves feature a soft, absorbent patch on the thumb that can act as a wipe guard, and for many that can be a real gamechanger.
