Best Gloves for Dog Walking in Winter in the UK

Sealskinz Anmer is our practical all-rounder: it combines a waterproof membrane, merino lining, grip and touchscreen use. Pick Kelling for added insulation or Acle when you want a lighter glove for dry, chilly walks.

Quick answer

For muddy, wet walks and frequent lead handling, Sealskinz Anmer stands out for its merino lining, waterproof membrane and silicone grip. Kelling adds insulation and a durable palm; Harling is a lighter waterproof option, while Acle suits cool weather when water resistance is enough.

01

Best for wet walks and lead grip

Sealskinz Anmer Waterproof All Weather Ultra Grip Glove

  • A three-layer Aquasealz membrane is described as waterproof, with a merino wool interior.
  • Silicone-printed fingers and palm provide grip and touchscreen compatibility.
  • The manufacturer specifically lists dog walking among suitable activities.

Drawback: The knitted construction may feel less protective for rough tasks than a reinforced leather-palm glove.

03

Best for dexterity and phone use

Sealskinz Harling Waterproof All Weather Glove

  • The maker specifies a waterproof Aquasealz membrane.
  • Pre-curved fingers and a PU suede palm are intended to support movement and grip.
  • Thumb and index finger are touchscreen compatible.

Drawback: It is a lightweight all-weather glove rather than a heavily insulated winter option.

04

Best for lightweight everyday walks

Sealskinz Acle Water Repellent Nanosealz Fleece Glove

  • The single-layer stretch fleece is lightweight and designed to preserve hand movement.
  • A textured palm adds grip and the Sticky S formation works with touchscreens.
  • Its thin profile can be worn alone or as a liner beneath a warmer glove.

Drawback: It is water-repellent, not a waterproof glove for prolonged rain.

05

Best for exposed, very cold walks

Sealskinz Witton Waterproof Extreme Cold Weather Glove

  • The Aquasealz membrane is described as fully waterproof and breathable.
  • PrimaLoft Gold insulation and a textured goatskin palm are specified.
  • Zero liner movement is intended to prevent the lining bunching inside the glove.

Drawback: Its heavy-duty ski-oriented construction is bulkier for everyday lead handling.

06

Best for keeping rain out at the wrist

Sealskinz Anmer Waterproof All Weather Ultra Grip Knitted Gauntlet

  • The gauntlet cut extends coverage above the wrist.
  • The maker describes an Aquasealz waterproof membrane with merino wool inside.
  • Its silicone grip formation is touchscreen compatible.

Drawback: The longer cuff can be less convenient under a close-fitting coat sleeve.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Are waterproof gloves useful for dog walking in winter?

They help when walks include steady rain, wet grass or slush, but waterproof construction alone does not guarantee warmth. Match insulation to how cold your hands get and choose a palm surface that feels secure on a lead.

Which glove details help when holding a dog lead?

Look for a grippy palm, fingers that bend naturally and a fit that lets you keep a secure hold without excess fabric. Textured silicone, suede or leather palms are examples used by the models above.

Are Sealskinz Anmer gloves suitable for touchscreen use?

Yes. Sealskinz says the Anmer’s silicone-printed fingers and palm provide touchscreen compatibility, alongside its merino interior and waterproof membrane.

Will water-repellent gloves keep hands dry in heavy rain?

Water-repellent fabric can shed light moisture, but it is not the same as a glove with a waterproof membrane. For long walks in persistent rain, choose a product explicitly described as waterproof.
