FINGERS STILL WORK

The North Face Etip Recycled Gloves

$$ mid-range within winter gear

Good down to around the freezing mark, with touchscreen fingertips so pausing your watch doesn't require a glove removal ritual at -8. Below about -10 you'll want to size up into mitts or add a shell over top — fingers together beat fingers apart, which is physics, not opinion.

Best for: shoulder-season cold and mild winter days

Worth knowing about winter gear

  • Cotton kills the vibe: it soaks up sweat, holds it against your skin, and turns kilometre six into a refrigeration experiment — merino or synthetic, always.
  • Traction is for ice, not snow: fresh snow just needs your normal shoes and lower expectations, but the shiny grey stuff needs spikes.
  • A headlamp beats reflective-only: reflective gear needs a driver's headlights to work, while a headlamp is visible from every angle and shows you the ice first.
  • The treadmill isn't cheating: when it's freezing rain on glare ice, the runner who lives to train tomorrow wins — save the heroics for race day.
