Winter Road Bike Gloves for Cold, Wet Rides

Compare insulation, wind and water protection, palm grip, cuff fit and the dexterity needed for braking and shifting. Match the glove to your ride length and expected conditions.

Some models use a waterproof membrane; others are only water resistant or windproof. Check the manufacturer’s exact description.

Choose enough insulation for your conditions while retaining control of the bars and levers. A very bulky glove may reduce dexterity, so fit and intended temperature matter.

Some include touchscreen-compatible fingertips. Confirm that the particular model lists this feature and remember that gloves may limit precise operation.
