Altra Performance 2-in-1 Gloves

A lightweight glove with a fold-over mitten. Wear it with your fingers covered when it's cold and fold the mitten back when you want to use your phone, watch or zip. The fabric is soft and stretchy, so you barely notice it. It feels like a second skin, not a thick glove.

You notice the difference most when you switch between effort and rest. On a cold morning on the Veluwe or a windy ridge in the Eifel, your hands are cold at the start, but after a few kilometres you want them free. Fold the mitten down and it tucks into a pocket on the back of your hand. No need to take the glove off to snap a photo or check your route.

The palm has a non-slip print, so you get a better hold on your phone or poles. The clip keeps the gloves together when you stash them in your vest. Handy on long runs when you take them off halfway.

Not sure? Choose this glove for cool, dry days when you're constantly switching between warm and cold. It's thin and not waterproof, so in freezing temperatures, rain or long stops in the cold you'll need a warmer glove. If you suffer from cold hands, go for something thicker.

In short: a light, windproof glove for cool runs where you want to keep using your hands.
