How to choose the best winter gloves for mountain biking Priced at the going rate for a high-spec riding glove, the Fist Aerobix has some neat details. The fit, feel and durability (so far) are all good too. What Fist has got going for it is the absolute variety of different designs available, from plain Jane to Kim Kardashian, there’s something for everyone.

This is one of the obvious ones; the more insulation, the warmer the glove. But while insulation technology has come on leaps and bounds, meaning it’s possible to get warm gloves without turning your hands into a bunch of banana fingers with little-to-no handlebar control or dexterity, it’s still the case that more insulated gloves are bulkier, so there will be a trade off there. The Flexair is Fox’s thinnest, most minimal glove designed for maximum feel. It uses stretchy materials all over with extra flexible mesh between fingers, that’s also perforated for extra air flow and cooling, and based on extensive testing it’s one of the best mountain bike gloves out there. These Flexairs are exceptional in terms of perfect fit due to stretchy materials in every direction and the ventilation is superb too; so palms never get too sweaty and greasy inside and slime about on grips. These a versatile pair of winter gloves which are ideal for a classic British winter weather ride (unless the heavens open). Where there are water and snow, there would be coldness, and that is why it is a must that you wear insulated gloves. • Touchscreen Compatibility To keep your hands warm, protected and comfortable, you would need gloves that have padding.

They also have padded and grippy palms which silicone strips on the first three fingers and upper palm which gives them good handlebar grip. Designed for cold rather than freezing temperatures, these Classic gloves use a layered construction to trap warm air between the inner and outer fabrics and provide thermal insulation.You can read the name of the Troy Lee Designs Air glove in two ways – it’s lighter than air or it’s highly breathable. Either description works, because these are both minimal and well-ventilated. What we like about the Air is its figure-hugging fit, and the mini Velcro closure that lets you pull it apart to plug your hand in. There’s also a grip tab on the heel of the hand to help pull it on without tearing the material. The sizing is small and it’s a little flimsy – don’t expect it to last forever – but there’s no bunching at the palm and it almost feels like you’re not wearing a glove at all. In that sense, it does feel like you’re riding on air. How to choose the best winter gloves for your riding Match your gloves to your typical riding conditions Since it allows the fingers to move freely, this type of glove is recommended for people who want to enjoy a full grip over the bike’s handlebar. Often, this glove type includes silicone grips located at the interior part of the palm and small padding on each fingertip for a more comfortable riding experience. • Mittens
