paulcook Sep 2024 10:55am, 23 Sep 2024 6,527 posts	Quote Pin paulcook Some great suggestions here for me too. I struggle to get gloves on to start with when it's cold and wet. My gloves just don't seem to want to go onto wet hands. Combining my experience and one above, I've used small cotton / wool undergloves with a second pair of much better quality to help.

stilldreaming Sep 2024 11:32am, 23 Sep 2024 1,468 posts	Quote Pin stilldreaming Thanks everyone for suggestions so far. Lots to think about! @lammo I mainly run trails, long and slow and often use poles (Peak District, Shropshire etc). I'm also a bit of a skinny Minnie, so get cold very easily!

NordRunner Sep 2024 7:28pm, 23 Sep 2024 4,576 posts	Quote Pin NordRunner I've had several pairs of expensive gloves for rain and snow conditions, many of which didn't work out for one reason or another. In the end I stick to a pair of gloves that keep me warm, and pull on a pair of overmitts if they start getting wetted. This is the best compromise and lets me use some of those that didn't work out properly.

I can't remember what make mine are, either innov8 or Salomon but I love them. As with anything waterproof they do eventually go through, but they last a while before that. Plus they pack small and dry quick after use. (They live in the bottom of my running pack, just in case) The other thing to do is load up on lots of cheaper gloves and change them regularly. I own about 6 pairs, a couple are allegedly waterproof.
