Running gloves for winter sports
Running is possible in almost any weather—as long as you’re wearing the right gear. Running gloves protect your hands from cold and moisture in wet, gloomy weather and in freezing temperatures. Thin running gloves don’t make your hands sweat, but they also help prevent your fingertips from getting cold. Many runners like to carry a phone on their run, and touchscreen running gloves make it easy to control your music or answer a call while you’re on the move.
You can run all year round
You don’t have to stop jogging because of snow and frost—you can run year-round. The same wisdom applies to winter running as to any winter activity: it’s all about how you dress. Winter running is a great way to stay fit and enjoy fresh air. And what could be better than a brisk run in light мороз weather on a beautiful winter day, followed by sitting in the sauna and warming up in the steam?
At Kärkkäinen you’ll find the best running gloves for any conditions. Kärkkäinen’s online store is like a runner’s department store, packed with a wide selection. Take a look at our categories for men’s running clothing and women’s running clothing and order yours!
The right clothing for winter running
Winter running is made more challenging by sweat combined with cold air. That means your running clothes should move moisture away from the skin. Another very important factor is having winter running shoes with good grip. Even if the winter isn’t very snowy, there’s plenty of ice from south to north. Summer running shoes are often too thin and slippery for winter conditions, so the best option is studded running shoes.
For running clothing, layering is usually the best approach: something warm close to the body and something windproof on top. Your clothes should allow you to move easily and keep your stride natural. It’s better to wear several thin layers than one thick layer. Because of sweating, “too much” is too much even in freezing weather—but you also don’t want to freeze. Your own pace matters a lot here: are you running longer distances at a faster pace, or jogging lightly with occasional walking breaks?
Accessories are the A and O of winter running. Cold hits your face, toes and hands first—and sweat is also noticeable there first. A balaclava-style hat is an excellent choice for winter runners, protecting not only your head but also your face and neck. For your hands, technical running gloves are the best option. They wick sweat away efficiently, and in very cold temperatures you can wear mittens over the gloves if needed.
