Riding in the morning or at night during winter can be a pretty brutal experience and one of the places you'll feel it the most is in your hands. Summer weight gloves aren't going to cut it, and ski gloves are too bulky to enable you to feel your controls properly. What you need is a dedicated cold weather MTB glove such as the TLD Swelter to keep your fingers toasty, while still giving you the dexterity you need to shred.

Who's this item for: Riders that aren't afraid to head out for a loop on a frosty morning but don't want their fingers to snap off. These would also be a great choice for commuters, especially if there is a bit of dirt along the way.

Palm Style: A dual-layer palm helps to keep Jack Frost out while still giving you a nice feel through the bars.

Materials: 3 layer softshell fabric with a cosy fleece liner, sonic welded tprs protection on the fingers, silicone printed fingers for grip on the levers and touch screen compatible thumb and index finger to keep you connected to your devices.

Additional Protection: Sonic welded tprs protection on the fingers for fending off icicles during the ride.

Closure or Slip-on: Compression moulded cuff with hook and loop closure.

Touch Screen Compatible: Who wants to take their gloves off when it's cold? Nobody. Thankfully, these gloves are touch screen compatible so you won't have to.

Sweat Wipe Included: There is no dedicated sweat wipe on these gloves.

Pros: Keeps your mitts warm while providing you with enough dexterity in your fingers to operate your controls and hang on properly.

Cons: The seasonal window where you'll have the requirement for gloves like this is probably pretty short.
