Trail and running gloves

Keep Your Hands Warm

During the run, blood flows to the legs and hands, which are far from the heart and exposed to the relative wind, cool down quickly. In chilly weather, numb fingers struggle to open a bar, manipulate a zipper, or hold sticks. Running and trail gloves, lightweight and breathable, keep your hands warm without making them sweat. They can be tucked into a pocket when your body warms up, whether on an incline or in the sun.

Gloves and Sticks

Leki, a leading German brand for hiking, trail and ski poles, has designed gloves that integrate with its poles: the Ultra Trail Breeze and Ultratrail have a loop between the thumb and index finger that attaches directly to the pole's handle, without a strap. This allows the runner to drop and pick up the poles in a second, and the push is transferred effectively. Their reinforced palm resists wear from the handle.

Light or Warm

For cool mornings and mid-seasons, the Nike Pacer and Dri-FIT Lightweight gloves, thin and breathable, are sufficient; many are compatible with touchscreens so you can use your watch or phone without taking them off. In very cold weather, the Nike Therma-Fit Pacer, made of fleece, keeps warmth better. Choose snug-fitting gloves that don’t constrict your fingers, and wash them at thirty degrees. A spare dry pair in the bag saves a run in the rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to drop your poles without losing them while going uphill?

The Leki Ultra Trail Breeze and Ultratrail gloves are compatible with the brand’s pole straps: you can drop the pole without losing it and pick it back up with one motion, without taking off your gloves.

What gloves to wear when running in the rain?

A waterproof glove or an over-glove keeps hands dry but is less breathable. In light rain, a quick-drying glove will suffice: slip a spare pair in your bag for long runs.

Light gloves or fleece: what to choose based on temperature?

In cool weather, a thin glove like the Nike Dri-FIT Lightweight is enough. When it's cold, the Nike Therma-Fit Pacer in fleece keeps in the heat. Hands warm up during the run: don’t choose too warm.

Can you use your smartphone with running gloves?

Check for touchscreen zones at the tips of the thumb and index fingers. They let you check a watch, change music, or respond without exposing your fingers to the cold.

How to choose the size of your running gloves?

Measure the circumference of your hand above the thumb and compare it to the guide. The glove should fit snugly without constricting: if it’s too tight, it blocks circulation and cools the fingers instead of protecting them.
