Keeping the wind chill off your hands is important in cycling. There is nothing worse than feeling your hands start to freeze around the bars, which can happen even in summer on mountain descents. Here are some of the best gloves to keep your hands warm and comfortable.

Gore Bike Wear C5 winter gloves are some of the best around thanks to incredible breathability. They’ll keep your hands warm, dry and comfortable, but they can be quite expensive.

Another good choice is the Pearl Izumi P.R.O softshell gloves, windproof and comfortable down to around 2 degrees Celsius.

For more warmth, try the Bontrager RXL Thermal gloves, known to trap heat and wick moisture while keeping the wind out.

Danish brand GripGrab has made real inroads in the industry recently, and with good reason. Its Insulator Hi-Vis gloves protect your hands while also improving your visibility to other road users.

Next up are the Craft Hybrid Weather gloves, suitable for changeable weather conditions. They have a small, built-in cover that can be folded down when things get windy or cold, and stowed away during warmer parts of your ride.
