A great pair of winter MTB gloves can help keep you out as long as your legs can manage. As our guide to the best winter MTB gloves shows, there’s no single best pair for everyone; they’re all about the choices between things like warmth and bulk, or waterproofing and breathability.
Gore Wear’s C5 Gore-Tex Thermo gloves have been my go-to winter warmers for more than a decade, for everything from commuting to warming up for cyclocross races, to long rainy MTB bikepacking trips. Except for their excellent stormproofing, they’re possibly not the best at any one single thing, but they’re pretty good at everything, and for me, they’re warm but versatile enough to see me from the colder shoulder-season days all the way through winter and into early spring.
