Best Winter Riding Gloves for Cold, Wet Days

For cycling, Castelli PERFETTO RoS GLOVE balances a slim fit with windproof construction; ASSOS Ultraz suits more severe weather. Choose by exposure and dexterity.

Quick answer

Castelli PERFETTO RoS GLOVE is a strong road-cycling pick for cool, wet rides, with a fleece lining and touchscreen fingertips. Choose ASSOS Ultraz for a more substantial winter construction, Sealskinz Bodham for a waterproof cycle design, or Endura Pro SL Waterproof PrimaLoft for insulated rain protection.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What are the best winter riding gloves for cold rain?

Look for a waterproof breathable membrane, an insulating lining and secure handlebar grip. Sealskinz Bodham and Endura Pro SL state waterproof construction; the warmer choice depends on the ride and your tolerance for bulk.

Are winter riding gloves waterproof?

Some models use a waterproof membrane, while others are water resistant. Check the exact model’s construction: Castelli describes PERFETTO as water resistant, while Bodham and Endura Pro SL specify waterproof membranes.

Can I use swim gloves for winter riding?

BlueSeventy Thermal Swim Gloves are designed for swimming and use flexible neoprene. They are not a substitute for cycling gloves shaped for handlebar control.

Should cycling gloves fit tightly?

They should stay in place without compressing your fingertips. A very tight fit can reduce comfort, and a bulky fit can make braking or shifting less precise.
