Advice on gloves...

[GlassA]

looking for recommendations for thin ?silk gloves to wear when running now it's getting colder any thoughts welcome....

I have Ronhill 'SmartTip' running gloves. Not sure if they are still sold, though.

Here is my "Running Gloves" wish list, built up over several years of running in the winter:

1) Thin but windproof;

2) Ideally fluorescent (or have something to improve visibility as you're running in winter);

3) Slightly rubberised fingers (so that your phone does not fall out of your grasp);

4) A conductive finger-tip (so that your smartphone touch screen works);

5) An absorbent panel on the thumb to manage drippy nose (probably TMI, sorry);

6) Easily washable (see item 5).

Thanks MarkyD great list..not sure about 5... although it is getting colder so who 'nose' 😉

I'll mention that sometimes the conductive fingers for touch screens get wrecked by washing... I have two pairs that no longer work on touch screens...

I bought some Head touchscreen running gloves. They were very cosy. I know mountain warehouse do some silk gloves. X

Should say I bought these from Costco about £12.

Oooh I wonder if they still have them...will take a look

They had hundreds in my local Costco in Watford yesterday. I've noticed on the packaging they are rated "warm", the lowest rating... there is warmer and warmest too but these were fine for me, they're thicker than silk gloves but I think they'll be fine for the colder weather, I get hot really quickly.
