Gear Guide: 15 Best-Selling Winter Cycling Gloves

If you’ve ridden through winter, you know how cold your fingers get, and how much you need them to not go numb so you can pull the brakes and hit the throttle. You need a pair of dependable, waterproof, moisture-wicking, breathable winter cycling gloves.

Frozen fingers on a ride are a serious bummer, but they’re not inevitable. A good cycling glove will encase your hands in layers of material. Wool is great, synthetic fibers from companies like 3M can work just as well, and electronically heated gloves ensure you never have to worry about your fingers getting cold.

Not all cycling gloves are made for the same kind of riding, of course. Some are more casual, some more suitable for longer rides and everyday use, and some have the armored knuckles and heavy padding you need for riding ebikes that hit motorcycle speeds.

And yes, you really should be wearing protective gloves if you’re traveling at 35+ mph on an ebike. Casual riders and commuters hitting speeds of under 25 mph or less will stay toasty with any of the recommendations below; more serious cyclists or those in colder climates will find the warmest options further down.
