to run, work out, stretch, jump… up to 2 to 3 hours outdoors with and without wind.

Any brands you’d recommend? I have long, thin fingers.

    For running, get thin gloves that keep out the wind chill. Your body will heat itself up, including your hands, so all you look for is decent wind protection. I did some trail running in down to -10C, and thin running gloves were sufficient.

    If you want bells and whistles, get gloves with reflective elements. In winter, chances are you’ll spend some time running in the dark.

      Agreed; after using various running and other gloves, I settled on a set of work gloves that are thin nylon weave on the back and dipped in nitrile on the front, similar to gardening gloves.

      They let the steam out while keeping my hands from getting too cold in -10 weather, AND I can use my phone with them on (although I don’t recommend doing that below freezing).

      I do 3 hour trail runs through the winter and they’ve worked better than my running gloves or my merino wool cutoffs. And they’re $3 a pair.
