Keep those digits toasty on the bike with our pick of the best winter cycling gloves. Brrrrrr! cycling
The Assos Assosoires Winter Gloves are both windproof and water-resistant, and thus are perfect for the majority of winter riding including freezing frosty mornings. Not to mention, as expected from Assos, the quality and fit of the gloves is excellent.
As mentioned in our introduction, there's no definitive answer here as it depends on what temperature you're riding in and how much dexterity you're prepared to sacrifice for glove thickness. Much as with jackets, windproof fabrics with water-resistant coatings are popular thanks to lower bulk and a softer feel. Gloves often have reinforced areas of heavier-duty fabric at key points: between thumb and forefinger, on the palm, and at the fingertips. Inside, some form of synthetic insulating fabric is the norm, although you'll also find natural materials like Merino wool and silk.
This works well for dexterity. Most manufacturers have their own variant on ergonomically-designed padding, with pads positioned to align with common pressure points. Watch out for gloves designed for flat bars, though – different bits of your hands take the weight on drops and you can find that what would be a useful pad on flats becomes a slightly annoying lump on drops.There's a lot of choice in gloves.
Many riders will find that keeping wind and water out means that they can get away with less insulation, while others will need all the help they can get. Bear in mind that you can always boost the warmth of gloves by adding liners, but it's usually trickier to cool them down.Two-part gloves are exactly what they sound like, with an outer shell glove to ward off wind and rain and an inner liner glove contributing thermal insulation.
