![]() If you frequently run in low-light conditions, high-vis or added reflectivity is worth considering. You’ll also find high-vis gloves in bright colors that make your hands light up like beacons to let drivers know you’re there. Some manufacturers apply reflective bits, such as patches or design elements, to their gloves. But your hands, which naturally move and wave as you stride down the street, also are an excellent place to boost your visibility and catch a texting driver’s eye. That means more reflective detailing on tights, shoes, and outer layers, of course. In response, running wear companies have stepped up their efforts to help runners be seen. Just as smartphones have created a demand for touchscreen-compatible gloves, so too have they contributed to the ever-growing problem of distracted driving. There are even solar-powered gloves that promise to harness the power of the sun to keep frozen fingers at bay. Though cozy, natural fabrics like wool will still protect your hands against winter’s bite, in some cases manufacturers have improved a bit on Mother Nature by adding high-tech fabrics to keep the elements out and warmth in. You can expect to pay a higher price for that extra engineering, though we’ve done our best to dig up the best values. Most gloves today incorporate some level of compatibility with touchscreens, but some are definitely better than others. From smartphones to GPS watches, most of our favorite running gadgets either have touchscreens that are inactive under gloves or tiny buttons that fabric-covered fingertips fumble over. But, that’s not 2022, when our gloves are loaded with technical performance fabrics that can wick sweat and regulate temperature without compromising breathability, tactile ability, and other functions. There was a time when runners wore nothing more than the brown cotton gloves you’d find at a hardware store. In addition, we have replaced any pairs that are out of stock or no longer available.
