Gloves & mittens: small upgrade, big difference

Your hands cool down quickly, especially in wind and low temperatures. Good protection keeps you comfortable and prevents you from cramping up or losing pace.

Gloves or mittens? (which do you choose when)

Are you torn between the two?

• Gloves → more freedom of movement and grip (ideal for technical trails)
• Mittens → warmer because fingers stay together (perfect in extreme cold)
  Choose based on temperature and intensity.

Heat vs. breathability (stay in balance)

Being too warm is just as annoying as being too cold. Good models retain heat but allow sweat to escape. This keeps your hands dry and comfortable during exertion.

Wind and weather protection (prevent cooling)

Windproof materials make a big difference, even in mild cold. Some gloves are also water-repellent—handy in wet conditions.

Grip & functionality (practical on the go)

Silicone grip on the palm helps with sticks or wet surfaces. Touchscreen-compatible fingers make it easy to operate your watch or phone without taking them off.
