For the UK I am yet to need anything warmer when cold and dry.
warm and lightweight gloves. perfect for leaving in a rucksack for those colder days
I've got big hands. Long and thin. I always struggle to get gloves big enough. Especially between the thumb and first finger. But the 3xl are a great fit. Good quality, nice looking and comfortable to wear.
Perfect fit and as described warmth wise. Great for hike and look amazing too. A worthy buy.
I purchased multiple pairs of these, great quality, the loops are incredibly useful for pulling on and off and storing the gloves somewhere, I really notice it missing when I use other gloves now. Great for walks, cycling, hiking.
Just bought a second pair as left my others at home and planning a run in the morning and forecast is for zero degrees. not too heavyweight but thick enough to keep hands warm on a cold run.
Well designed, excellent value, allows equipment to be used, warm
Dexterous and warm. Pair I bought had a little stitching defect but zero issues getting them swapped for new pair. Good gloves.
Good gloves, great value. Could be a touch warmer
good
Nice gloves, touch screen compatible. Kept hands warm untill I put my head on wet ground at which point the soaked through immediately. I'll be purchasing some waterproof ones too. Good value though
Very beautiful, soft and warm
You get what you pay for. I paid 12 pound for these and find them a great addition nice gloves for taking that cold off. Not too thick would recommend for around 8 to 12 degrees
Best gloves ever- bought these as I lost my first pair
Good gloves

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 87.0% Polyester, 13.0% Elastane ; Back of the hand: 100.0% Polyester ; Yoke: 100.0% Polyamide ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane
How is usage temperature measured?
All our gloves are laboratory tested on a thermal hand. The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) are the result of a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions. MT500 gloves are rated for warmth at 1 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 8°C | Limit temperature: 3°C
How to properly protect your hands from the cold
In the same way you wear several layers of clothing when trekking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves, which will act as a thermal base layer. This multi-layer system lets several layers of air to form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold! Remember to wear large enough gloves to keep your fingers from being constricted. Compression reduces blood circulation in the fingers.
How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing
When active, the body generates heat which is preserved thanks to the thermal insulation of your clothing. If the clothing is inadequate, your body cools and the blood flow to the hands and feet drops in order to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing can therefore play a role in keeping your hands warm.
What is the dexterity of a glove?
The dexterity of a glove is its ability to handle objects. Our Trek 500 gloves have been rated in a laboratory. The closer the glove's dexterity is to 5, the more the glove can handle objects in the same way as the bare hand. For example, we have tested the ability to put on and open a jacket, to handle objects in bivouac, to eat and drink wearing the Trek 500 gloves. The Trek 500 gloves are given a warmth rating of 4 out of 5.
Are these gloves windproof?
MT500 Stretch gloves are not windproof.Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? With an outdoor temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature will be -10°C The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind or apparent wind generated by the sporting activity.We advise you to complete your purchase with our MT500 waterproof and windproof overgloves
Got your liner gloves caught in the rain?
If this happens then dry them in a dry place but avoid placing them on a heat source. This could damage the fibre and they could lose their shape!
