Running in the winter months has its own special set of challenges. Dressing appropriately, being prepared for biting wind, and choosing shoes and socks that can handle snow and ice are just a few. Having the right gear can help you embrace harsh weather, not fear it. One key accessory you shouldn't leave home without? A warm pair of running gloves.
From a biological standpoint, your body works hardest to keep your core and internal organs warm when the temperature drops by sending blood to that area. This is largely the reason our hands and feet get cold during the winter. When you're moving faster and holding your hands away from your body while running, your hands are especially exposed to the elements. The easy solution? Gloves.
Running gloves are specifically designed to keep a runner's hands warm and dry. Depending on the glove, there are some key components that differentiate it from your ski gloves or the fuzzy mittens Grandma made you.
Some gloves are even designed for very cold weather in a "lobster claw" design that keeps 3-4 fingers together, almost like a mitten. This snuggly pocket creates more heat within the glove. Whatever you choose, a good pair of running gloves can help keep your fingers toasty on a wintry run.
