Women's Waterproof Winter Gloves

Hitting the slopes or running around town on a wet and wild day, it's crucial to have a quality pair of women's waterproof winter gloves. You want to be sure they keep your hands warm and allow you flexibility to do everything you need to do with comfort and ease.

Keeping hands warm and dry in winter can be a challenge.

It used to be that the only sort of truly waterproof gloves you could get were those used for skiing. While those are great for the great outdoors, they are too thick and unwieldy for use as a daily winter accessory. New developments in fabric can create a thinner, more flexible glove that still keeps you warm and dry.

Isotoner is one of the leading manufacturers of women's waterproof winter gloves. Their Ultra Dry gloves combine Lycra, Polyurethane inserts and a fleece lining to keep the wind and water off the skin. They are also designed to maximize comfort by wicking away perspiration. Sweaty hands can be a huge problem in cold weather, as they make you colder, so this is an important detail. The grips on the fingers and palms are meant to resist slippage when driving, although whether they would allow you to use a phone, particularly one with a touch-screen, is something you'll have to find out in an individual test.

They only come in black, and claim to be one size fits all, although some customers find them on the small side. Customers also note that, while they're not bad overall, they will not keep you warm enough in a really frigid climate. They are, however, a great glove for the low price.

For a glove that's a bit more sporty in look but possibly keeps you warmer, the Youngstown Waterproof Winter Glove might be worth a try. It is made in three layers, the outermost being a strong shell to stand up to activity, covering a waterproof, windproof and breathable center. Finally, there is a micro-fleece liner to keep you warm. This is a unisex glove and designed for those who do cold outdoor work, needing the full range of their dexterity while staying comfortable for a long stretch of time. However, for those who live in areas with severe winter weather, it can be a useful glove. This is particularly true for those women prone to chronic cold hands due to poor circulation.

By far the most selection one can find for women's waterproof winter gloves is for those used in sport of one kind or another. Besides the obvious skiing, there are more common daily activities such as bicycling or motorcycling that require warm gloves that also maintain full grip and dexterity.

When it comes to choosing gloves for these activities, you'll have your best luck going to specialty shops either online or in person. You can also search forums for sports enthusiasts to see what is most recommended. You might be surprised to learn how much great equipment is out there that really does the trick!

It's also worth it to make a good investment on well-made gloves that are durable. You'll be happier and it will encourage you to keep cycling. Many women cycle to work, school and errands on fine days, but there is no reason to stop engaging in such healthy activity when the weather is difficult. You just need to be properly prepared. It may seem intimidating at first, but once you get used to it, you might find you really enjoy it – and you'll definitely enjoy staying in shape and saving money on transportation. The patient wife in the documentary No Impact Man agreed to use a scooter to get to work, even on bitter New York days, and the gift of warm, waterproof gloves made all the difference to her commute. With warm and dry hands, you can do anything.
