Cold fingers are the fastest way to ruin a morning ride. Not hypothermia-cold — just that specific kind of numb where you can't feel the brake levers properly for the first 20 minutes. The Core Winter Gloves are built for exactly that problem: Australian winter mornings in the 5-12°C range where a full winter glove is overkill but bare hands aren't an option. Slim fit, full-finger construction in a brushed thermal stretch fabric that moves with your hands on the bar. No padding, no bulk — just enough warmth to stay comfortable and in control from the first pedal stroke. Key Features Lightweight thermal fabric: Brushed inner lining traps warmth without adding weight or restricting movement Full-finger coverage: Protects fingers from wind chill on descents and cool morning starts Slim, close fit: No bunching at the knuckles — bar feel stays clean through the glove 4-way stretch construction: Moves with your grip through cornering and gear changes without pulling Packable: Light enough to stash in a jersey pocket once the temperature climbs When to Wear These These are your 5-12°C glove. Below that, you want something heavier. Above that, most riders go bare. In that window — which covers most Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide winter mornings — the Core Winter Gloves are the right call. They pair well with the Thermal Arm Warmers and Core Baselayer for a complete layering setup. Size Guide The Core Winter Gloves run true to size. Measure your hand circumference at the knuckles (excluding thumb) and match to the guide below. S: 17-19cm M: 19-21cm L: 21-23cm XL: 23-25cm If you're between sizes, go up — a glove that's slightly roomy is easier to ride in than one that's tight across the knuckles.
