Cold weather here on the east coast has put me in mind of running gloves.  Yesterday evening I saw a woman running one of my favorite routes.  The temperature outside was a balmy 34 degrees.  She clearly knew what she was doing as she was covered head-to-toe (a good thing) including her hands.  There are times when those lovely “cuffins” just aren’t enough to keep your hands toasty warm and I realized that my old Road Runner reflective gloves are badly in need of replacement, having lost their elasticity about a thousand washes ago.  So I went scouting for a pair of good running gloves and realized pretty quickly that there are a lot of options out there.

Here’s some of what I found:

NOTE: Many glove styles are made in “unisex” sizing.  I have found that because I have small hands, unisex small is usually to large for me. Don’t know your glove size?  Use this handy measuring tool.
