The North Face Etip Recycled Glove
Best overallCold-weather running guide
A soft, stretchy recycled-fleece glove that iRunFar ranks first overall for running, helped by the most dependable touchscreen response in its test group. It covers cool-to-cold runs well but costs more than similar fleece gloves and makes no wind or rain claims.
