Thermal Gloves

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"On cold, wet days these are the gloves I reach for. The insulation keeps my hands warm without overheating, and the suede palm grips the bars even when things get slick. Add in reflective details and touchscreen use, and they cover everything I need for winter training."

Winter riding demands gear that balances warmth, dexterity, and protection from the elements, and the Rapha Thermal Gloves rise to the challenge. Engineered for cold-weather performance, these gloves combine a fleece lining with back-of-hand insulation to trap heat where it’s needed most, while maintaining a close fit that won’t compromise control. A durable water repellent treatment sheds moisture, keeping hands drier through drizzle, spray, and unexpected flurries.

On the palm, abrasion-resistant suede provides a dependable grip on the bars while resisting wear over long seasons of riding. Integrated gel padding takes the edge off road vibrations, helping maintain comfort on endurance days. The suede also works with touchscreen devices, allowing mid-ride navigation or quick messages without exposing hands to the cold.

Finishing touches make the Thermal Gloves an essential part of any winter kit: a low-profile merino cuff that seals in warmth under jacket sleeves, reflective logos and panels for visibility while signaling, and practical details like a nose wipe thumb and grosgrain puller for easy on-off. From brisk training rides to long winter base miles, these gloves keep performance and comfort firmly in hand.
