GORE-TEX Insulated Gloves

About this find

These GOREWEAR gloves are full-finger, unisex cycling gloves built to handle cold, wet rides. A GORE-TEX ePE laminate liner blocks wind and water while still letting your hands breathe. The backs of the hands use 100% recycled polyester, and the insulation blends PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core on the backs with PrimaLoft Gold on the palms. The idea is warmth without unnecessary bulk, and the whole pair weighs just 3.9 oz.

The palms are made from 70% nylon and 30% polyurethane, with a seamless design and no palm padding. Grip Control with a needled finish and a silicone print on the inside of the palms give you secure handlebar control. The grip treatment rubberizes the palm fabric, and textured silicone prints add extra hold. The inside of the gloves is lined with 100% polyester.

The fully conductive palm lets you use your smartphone without taking the gloves off. If you want to check a map or answer a call, you can do it with your gloves on. Soft hook-and-loop closures let you adjust how snug they feel. Pre-shaped construction gives a more natural fit, and reflective details add visibility on darker rides.

Test the touchscreen on your own phone in the shop or at home before your first long ride, since screen response can vary from phone to phone. These gloves also contain recycled materials, which is a nice bonus for riders who care about that.
