Description

The Quick Wick

Runners know that gloves are a shoulder season essential - we’ll wear shorts long before we retire our gloves to the back of our drawers. This lightweight Merino wool offering is designed for cool, not-yet-warm days and features an eco-dry finish to protect against late winter, early spring mess.

Features

These single-layer merino gloves provide lightweight warmth and extra protection against precipitation thanks to the water-repellant and PFC-free eco-dry finish.

Touch pads on the thumb and pointer finger make it easy to use a smartphone without removing. Hidden magnets on the cuffs keep them together when not in use.

Go-To Gloves

Jeanne and Mike met up north of New York City for an hour-long run on the soft surfaces at Rockefeller State Park. Rain and temperatures in the high 30-degrees Fahrenheit called for gloves at the start of the run. Lightweight and water-repelling, the Thaw Gloves kept their hands warm and dry over the course of the session.

The fabric finish was inspired by duck’s feathers, which repel water while maintaining breathability. Dashing through puddles and battling a light rain, Mike and Jeanne put the finish to the test over seven miles.

The gloves are finished with touch pads on the pointer finger and thumb so you can use your phone. Magnets keep them from getting lost.

The Thaw

In Vermont, they say there are five seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter and mud – when thawing snowmelt turns dirt roads and trails into a soggy mess. While it may not have achieved “season status” everywhere, that wet, mushy period between deep winter and early spring is a fact of life for many runners. We spend it leaping over slush puddles in old trainers that we don’t mind getting dirty. It’s the physical in-between. It’s the thaw. Inspired by this gloriously messy season, we updated our training staples to handle some serious splashes.
