At what temp do you wear them?<br><br>
I found that 30's and below is best for gloves, but end up taking them off.<br><br>
What types do you like?<br><br>
I've found good luck with the $1 "magic type" gloves that fit all hands (you can find them at the drug store or dollar store).

Conditions here are often wet and drizzly, and since much of my running is on trails there is a lot of mud and slush to deal with. I've had good luck with a pair of smart wool gloves I got at REI: relatively light and fleece textured, but fine enough woven to keep out some wind. They stay warm when wet and are nice to have on my hands when I fall on a muddy trail.

Generally if it's below 40 I wear gloves (or at least start out in them).<br><br>
I agree, I use the cheap $1 variety gloves - either pick them up at expo's - or the store (drug store - or the big red bullseye). I do however have a nice lightweight pair of polartech gloves I just got this year for $8 from Marshalls. They are nice because they have grippies (for lack of a better term) on the fingers and palm which is good for when I'm holding the leash (running with my dog) or water bottle. They aren't super heavy, but are a little warmer than the $1 variety.

I also use the cheap knit one-size-fits-all for runs below 40. Once its below 15 or so, I add a pair of knit mittens over top. The mittens usually go in my pocket about a mile into a run.<br><br>
My DH has bad circulation in his hands. I got him some Brooks HVAC gloves and he really likes them.<br><br><a href="http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/BKW662/" target="_blank">http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/BKW662/</a>

I have some Brooks gloves I picked up at an expo. I wear them below 35* and after I warm up I put them in my pockets. I also have a running top that has mittens at the end of the sleeves that I can put on or off.

I wear gloves when it's 40 or below. But, when it's above say 32, I'll take down off and stick them in my pants on the last half (no pockets, and when they're sticking out of the top of my pants, I know where they're at).

Ha Ha - $1 gloves may be fine where you live, but I'm using my nice thick wool mittens - Good from 20F to -20F and lower.<br><br>
I do pick up packs of 10 of the gloves you are talking about - Good for Late Spring and Early Fall running <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[fox-runr]

I wear gloves below 50F- very thin ones<br>
$1 gloves 40-50<br>
running gloves 0-40<br>
liners and mittens below zero<br>
-20f : forget it, those days are over my friend, unless there is NO wind.

About 35 deg F and below. Usually down to about 25 I can get away with the Stanley (NFI) knit gloves found on the housewares aisle at Safeway. About $1.99 per pair and work fine for me here in the Pac NW. Below about 25 deg I go to my cycling gloves that are a bit more wind/cold air proof. If it's really cold, then the longer lobster mitts come out, but that is rare in this region.<br><br>

Below 35ish I'll put on a pair of $1 five fingered snotrags. Once it hits low 20s, I'll upgrade to a heavier pair.

Hey foxy runner - Or are you a foxy swimmer <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Merry Christmas to all -

 

[Gingerbread]

I use the ends of my sweatshirt sleeves until it's somewhere around -10*F and then I consider not running...but I do have a pair of cheap college mascot gloves someone gave me that I use when out getting exercise on snowshoes because it takes a bit longer for my hands to warm up than when I run.

 

[Boyerdavea]

I normally don't put gloves on until it is under 35 - 40. I use the cheap glove from WalMart, three pack for 1.99. they are very thin and stretch to just the end of the palms. This allows easy access to the watch.<br><br>
Once it gets real cold, 25 or less I will upgrade to a pair of running glove by Nike I bought at my last marathon. They seem to work really well.<br><br>
Of course I usually end up taking gloves off as well. Then put them back on after they start getting cold again.

 

[musher]

Usually below 35or so. The old cheap cotton butcher gloves that the meat cutters use. Of course mine are unused.
