WHY USE WATERPROOF GLOVES FOR TRAIL RUNNING?

Waterproof gloves are the best protection for your hands against the cold and bad weather. Here's why.

1/ Waterproof gloves will keep your hands warm and dry. This is absolutely essential, because moisture, whether caused by rain, bad weather, snow or perspiration - which is why our gloves are breathable - is your hands' worst enemy. It's moisture that makes your hands cold. Our waterproof gloves won't soak up water, unlike the majority of technical cotton gloves found in the world of trail running.

2/ As well as moisture, the other element that freezes your hands is the wind. To keep your hands warm, you need to cut them off from the wind and gusts that blow hard at altitude and in the early hours of the morning. Our waterproof gloves have this insulating virtue.

3/ Waterproof gloves are now included in the list of compulsory equipment required by the biggest races, including the UTMB.

4/ Finally, in trail running, conditions are changeable and unpredictable. Lightweight, compact and versatile, waterproof gloves are the best response to these variations in climate and temperature.

If you don't want your frozen hands to degenerate into hypothermia or hypoglycaemia, or if you simply don't want them to spoil your pleasure or your performance, don't hesitate: choose waterproof gloves!

"Against the cold and the elements, waterproof gloves are the best protection for your hands".

WHAT ARE THE BEST WATERPROOF GLOVES FOR TRAIL RUNNING?

At Therm-ic, top-level performance is in our DNA. Designing high-performance products to accompany champions on their way to victory or adventurers in their exploits is part of our mission. This proud history is rooted in our conviction that we have designed the most effective waterproof gloves on the market. Whether it's pouring rain, biting wind or biting cold, these waterproof gloves will give you optimum protection against the elements.

What are the features of our Therm-ic waterproof trail gloves?

1/ Extremely waterproof. Our 'Weather Shield Cover' waterproof gloves are totally waterproof thanks to their seamless construction. So you can face downpours, bad weather and melting snow with peace of mind. Remember, to keep your hands warm, you need to keep them dry!

2/ Lightweight and compact. Take your waterproof gloves with you wherever you go. Functional and comfortable, they'll impress you with how easy they are to carry. Slip them into your trail bag or jacket pocket: you'll forget they're there until you feel the need to take them out after the first drop of rain, gust of wind or flurry of snow.

3/ Optimum resistance and reliability. When you're trail running, it's easy to get your hand caught on a rock or branch. The result? A hole in your glove. Our waterproof gloves are designed to last, resist and never tear.

4/ Extreme versatility: designed for trail running, our waterproof gloves are just as effective in the vast majority of outdoor sports, from hiking and cycling to mountain biking, cross-country skiing and ski touring. Note that our waterproof gloves can also be used as over-gloves, slipped over the 'Active Light Tech' gloves, our thin tactile multi-activity gloves!

5/ As a final argument, we'd like to put forward the validation of our trail champions. The 'Weather Shield Cover' are approved by our athletes. We've seen our waterproof gloves in the hands of our top-level trail runners, in the cool of the early morning, on the UTMB, as they crossed the highest point of the course, the Grand Col Ferret; or at the SaintéLyon, during the legendary night race, which always surprises competitors with its Dantesque winter conditions.
