I plan to run during the winter and need a pair of running gloves to keep my hands warm. Would appreciate your suggestions.

    I have the orange and black Suacony gloves with the flip off hand part (to make them gloves)
    I usually take them off about 2 miles into my run!

    I found a pair at D ick's Sporting Goods by Nike. Haven't tried them yet (had gallbladder surgery a couple weeks ago and am not clear to exercise yet), but they have a little key pocket in the palm of each glove. They seem like they're pretty warm.

    ha! I LITERALLY just bought those gloves like 20 minutes ago... Obviously haven't tried them out yet either, sorry!

    I'm from Minnesota and I got some that are really slick. the new ones that are made for the ipod tocuhing or whatever. You want to make sure they will keep the wind out but not too thick.

    I just use the white cotton gardening gloves that you can get a Walmart or other store of that kind. You can get the gloves for a dollar. They work perfectly for me.

    IllumiNite (Note, they're not white, they're reflective - camera flash). The gloves have a micro-fleece portion that is perfect for swiping the sweat from your brow.

    I have a light pair from Marvella that have the touch screen compatible finger and thumb for days that are chilly but not frigid. I also have a pair from Marvella that are cozy, fuzzy mittens. I'm saving those for when it's unbearably cold! Hope you find something that works for you :)

    I love my Ulti-Mitts winter running gloves from Saucony -- they feel thin to the touch but have kept me warm over the last two Canadian winters (as low a -35C some mornings). They have an attached water/wind proof "mitten" component that tucks into a pocket on the top but easily pulls out to cover the fingers on extremely cold days. I also appreciate the small white LED light on the side that makes night running a bit safer. And the bonus is the fact that the tip of the glove lifts up at the thumb and pointer finger so I can use my touch screen without taking off the entire glove. Can't recommend them enough!

    I have a pair that my minnesota gal friend made me. Took wool sweaters from Goodwill, cut out a mitten pattern, sewed them up, then lined them with felt. I have never had warmer hands. Wore them in 11 degrees for 10 miles and actually had to take my mittens off because my hands were sweating.

    Crap, I have a pair of pretty perfect running gloves too. Not too thick, but still warm; light, but still durable.

    I'll just post on here and reply tomorrow while I'm at school to see what they are. I just bought them at our uniform store.

    I have the Nike running gloves from ****'s (black and red), and they were all that I needed while running in 29 F temps (+wind chill) in the past week. My hands weren't cold as long as I was moving.

    I have been using those black jersey gloves you can buy for like 3 pairs for $5. I think they're fine if you're going under an hour. However, I found out the hard way yesterday that anything over an hour and the jersey gloves get wet, and if there is any wind at all your hands will start to get cold. I mean really cold

    Which is why I'm in this thread in the first place.

    I bought a pair of receiver gloves. I figure if they can wear them in football to keep their hands warm it will work for me. So far so good

    I have some Nike gloves, which are nice and have a key "pocket." I also have some Lulu Lemon gloves. Nike gloves are ripping though...but may just be due to use. They do get a lot of use in the winter. I actually took them off today a couple of miles into my 5 miler...just didn't need them anymore.

    I have been known to double up with gloves if it is bitter cold out, but those work for me in the DC metro area.

    Wear socks on your hands. ;D That's probably the only option I have at the moment, now that I think about it...

    Top - I bought a pair of Manzella gloves. They have a hi-vis green mitten-type thing that flips over your fingers. I got them through National Running Company.

    I have a couple different pairs. First are some wool gloves that i got from a running show store and then also microfleece. I like the microfleece for thinness but my hands really build up sweat in them. my wool ones just get really heavy during my long runs but my hands do not feel like they are swimming at the end of run--and you can ring them out.

    I brought a nice pair of Nike ones from Marshalls, I used them this morning. They kept my hands warm that I had to actually take them off about 20 minutes into my run.

    Mizuno Breath Thermo is the best line out there for cold weather gear. Their gloves are awesome!

    With that said for races, I pick up $1 throwaway gloves at expos so I can ditch 'em when I no longer need them! When I train, I can just hold onto them or drop them off at my car!

    I typically wear just the cheap acrylic knit gloves. 2 pair if it's really cold.

    However, they are a bad choice if it is raining. I wore them on my marathon when it was 40 degrees and rainy. My gloves got soaked, and my hands froze. I was more than a little worried that I was going to have a real problem.
