COOL & COLD WEATHER GLOVES
WARMTH YOU CAN STILL BRAKE IN.
Equipping yourself with gloves for cool and cold weather riding ensures your hands remain warm and responsive, crucial for maintaining control and comfort during your cycling adventures, no matter the temperature.
TEMPERATURE BANDS
Cool, cold, or deep winter?
| Cool weather | Cold weather | Deep winter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rough range | 45 to 60°F | 30 to 45°F | Below 30°F |
| Insulation | Light, minimal bulk | Insulated with wind protection | Heavily insulated, softshell outer |
| Priority | Bar feel first | Balance of warmth and control | Warmth first |
| Look for | Wind-resistant back, thin palm | AmFIB® softshell, longer cuff | Sealed seams, gauntlet cuff |
| Pair with | Nothing extra | A thin liner on the coldest days | Liner gloves and pogies if needed |
Wind chill matters more than air temperature here, since your hands are out front with no shelter. If you are riding into a headwind, treat the band as one step colder than the forecast.

Winter Cycling Gloves FAQs
At what temperature do I need winter cycling gloves?
Most riders reach for them around 50°F and need real insulation below 40°F. Wind chill matters more than air temperature, because your hands sit out front with no shelter, so a 45°F ride into a headwind feels closer to 35°F.
Why are my hands still cold in winter gloves?
Usually one of three things. The gloves are too tight, which restricts circulation, so size up rather than down for winter. Your core is cold, so your body is pulling blood away from your extremities. Or the glove is insulated but not windproof, and wind is stripping the heat straight through it.
What is the difference between cool weather and cold weather gloves?
Cool weather gloves prioritise bar feel with light insulation and a wind-resistant back, for roughly 45 to 60°F. Cold weather gloves add real insulation, a windproof softshell outer, and a longer cuff that seals against a jacket sleeve, for below 45°F.
Should I size up for winter gloves?
Slightly, yes. A winter glove needs a thin layer of air to insulate, and a glove that compresses your hand restricts circulation and makes you colder. If you plan to wear a liner underneath, size up a full size.
How do I keep dexterity in thick gloves?
Look for pre-curved fingers, which match the shape your hand makes on the bar, and a thinner palm than back. Most of the insulation should sit on the back of the hand where there is no pressure, not between your palm and the bar.
Are winter gloves touchscreen compatible?
Most of ours are, with conductive material on the thumb and index finger. It matters more in winter than summer, since taking a glove off in the cold is genuinely unpleasant and hard to reverse once your hands are cold.
How do I care for winter gloves?
Cold wash on gentle and air dry away from heat, which warps membranes and cracks softshell. Dry them fully between rides, since damp insulation does not insulate. If the outer stops beading water, refresh it with a spray-on DWR treatment.
