Hiking Gloves

Stay Warm, Protected, and Ready for the Trail

When you’re exploring the outdoors, cold or unprotected hands can quickly cut your adventure short. At Decathlon, our collection of hiking gloves is designed to keep you comfortable in every season, whether you’re heading out for a crisp autumn morning walk, a demanding winter trek, or a rainy spring day on the trail. More than just an accessory, the right pair of gloves provides essential warmth, grip, and protection, allowing you to focus fully on your hike.

Why Hiking Gloves Matter

Your hands are constantly exposed while hiking—gripping trekking poles, adjusting gear, or climbing over rocks. Without protection, cold air, wind, or moisture can quickly make your experience uncomfortable. That’s where hiking gloves come in. A good pair will insulate against the cold, wick away sweat, block wind, and even shield against light rain. Beyond comfort, they also reduce the risk of blisters, scratches, or cuts while handling equipment or navigating rugged terrain.

Types of Hiking Gloves

At Decathlon, we design hiking gloves for every condition and style of hiking:

  • Lightweight liner gloves – Perfect for cool mornings, shoulder seasons, or layering under heavier gloves. They offer breathability, flexibility, and just the right amount of warmth.

  • Insulated hiking gloves – Designed for winter hiking and snowshoeing, these gloves lock in heat while remaining breathable to prevent overheating.

  • Waterproof and water-resistant gloves – Ideal for rainy hikes or snowy conditions, they keep your hands dry and warm, even in unpredictable weather.

  • Touchscreen-compatible gloves – A modern essential for hikers who use GPS apps, digital maps, or love capturing photos without removing their gloves.

Key Features to Look For

When choosing hiking gloves, think about your typical hiking conditions:

  • Insulation: Synthetic fibers or fleece for mild cold, down or advanced thermal materials for freezing conditions.

  • Breathability: Fabrics that wick away moisture prevent clammy, damp hands.

  • Grip: Reinforced palms help with trekking poles, scrambling, or carrying gear.

  • Durability: Hiking puts gear to the test—look for strong stitching and abrasion-resistant materials.

  • Packability: Lightweight gloves that tuck easily into a pocket are great for variable conditions.

Complete Your Hiking Gear Setup

While hiking gloves protect your hands, they work best as part of a complete clothing system. Pair them with a hiking beanie, warm hiking socks for all-day foot comfort, and layered hiking clothing to adapt to changing weather. With the right setup, you’ll be prepared for any adventure.
