Review on TrailHeads Hi Vis Convertible Running Gloves by Quintin Gore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Perfect gloves for running. Maybe too light for other activities

I admit that I was disappointed at first when I opened the packaging. I thought they forgot to send one of the gloves. It just seemed too easy. When I realized it was two gloves, disappointment was replaced by skepticism. How can something so light be warm? Well, here are the gloves. I am a runner (15 marathons now) and have not found gloves that will keep my hands warm in the cold. I think that without the foldable "glove" of these gloves I would still be cold. But with the mitten on, my hands got warm to minus 3 degrees (F) in the cold wind. This piece of thin fabric protects so well from the wind. Without them my fingers would be numb. When I warmed up, I removed my mitten and finished my run in gloves. I'll add a caveat: if you're wearing these gloves for "slow speed" activities like walking, these gloves may not fit. In my opinion, this is the ideal weight for running if you're generating a lot of heat, but otherwise it might not be enough.
