Running gloves recommendations

Hi all, I hope you are all happy and running well 🙂

Can anyone recommend a lightweight but warm pair of running gloves.

Thanks for any advice

We had a thread hereabouts on this in the past few weeks so do have a browse 🙂

I like merino as it’s warm but thin. I was gifted some gorgeous Ronhill ones 🥰

I’ve got several pairs of night reflective high viz jobs from karrimor (matching headbands too 😀) but they’re not that warm.

I take my gloves off once I’ve warmed up 🙂

I got a pair of Head branded running gloves from Costco a couple of months ago. They're just warm enough, and I often find myself sweating into them.

One thing to note is there is a disadvantage to gloves which allow you to use a touch screen with them on. The pads at the fingertips tend to be thin and are a cold spot.

I got both my pairs at TKMaxx (both Nike I think) but I realise it’s pot luck what you can find there although it’s always worth a browse.

I’ve also used ordinary woollen fingerless gloves and these are good enough on chilly days but not freezing weather.

Also, tops with thumb holes are useful. Apart from just once this winter I’ve not had to wear gloves yet and I have very cold hands normally but I’ve got away with just the tops so far.

Yeah I like those tops IP. I only wear gloves when it’s really cold and then only til I get warmed up. Useful for nose wiping though 😁

And there was me thinking I was the only one who did that! 😂

Mountain warehouse everyday knitted gloves - c. £14. Nothing really special, lightweight, woollen. I did have to take one off to operate the phone but I now use a garmin watch with real buttons! 🙂

Thanks all for your replies, some great advice, I also use a garmin so I'm not bothered about using my phone, I just want warm hands 😁Thanks again and happy winter running all

I wonder how folks can run and use their phone 😁.

I turn mine off. I don’t want disturbing 😁🏃‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to misswobble]

I'm with you on this I don't even take my phone with me, running is me-time 😁

I’ve got a few pairs, some thin Karrimor ones that ok if it’s not too cold and some more pricey thick ones for colder weather (cycling gloves are good for this). The best all round pair though are some I got in decathlon a couple of years ago - just their no frills cheap ones but they are very good for most winter weather and fairly waterproof
