What are the warmest thermal gloves for women?

It's difficult to say which thermal gloves are the warmest because it depends on a number of factors, including what activity you're doing.

However, any gloves that feature double lining or additional insulation will generally be warmer.

Similarly, if the gloves are windproof or waterproof they'll also offer more protection against the elements.

But if you have sweaty hands or are using the gloves during an active sport, you'll need to look for a breathable option as otherwise you'll end up feeling clammy and uncomfortable.

Are thermal gloves good for driving?

Most sports brands have designed thermal gloves for outdoor sports such as running or cycling, so the flexibility can vary.

Try to go for thermal gloves that offer a wider range of movement if you want to use them for driving.

Gloves that are made from acrylic, wool or fleece are best for this.

You'll also want gloves that fit well so they don't slip and slide during use.

Where can I buy thermal gloves?

There are lots of brands to choose from when it comes to thermal gloves and some are so stylish and cosy that you’ll find yourself wearing them all the time.

Brands such as Berghaus, The North Face, Sealskinz, and Patagonia make higher spec thermal gloves that are ideal for outdoor adventures.

You can buy them directly from the brand if you have a favourite one, or head to outdoor specialists such as , and , which offer a range of options for you to choose from.
