As we transition into the shoulder season, it’s essential to prepare for unpredictable weather and colder days. To elevate your customers’ cycling experience and cater to their specific needs, we proudly present Handup’s Winter Gloves. These gloves are a game-changer for riders looking to stay comfortable and technically equipped during the fall and winter seasons. In this blog, we’ll provide you with valuable product information and insights to help you promote Handup gloves.
Handup Gloves have a reputation for being the go-to choice for mountain bike riders, cyclocross racers, and downhill enthusiasts. With their bold and vibrant designs and a focus on both style and performance, Handup has redefined what mountain bike gloves can offer. While they are well-known for their Most Days gloves, Handup also brings you a winter glove lineup that will ensure your customers stay warm and comfortable during cold-weather rides.
Handup Winter Glove Collection
Handup offers two types of winter gloves, each designed to cater to different temperature ranges and riding intensities. Let’s dive into the details of both:
Cold Weather Gloves
The Cold Weather Glove is designed for moderate temperatures or cold weather during high-intensity rides. Although it has a single-layer of insulation, this glove still manages to strike a perfect balance between warmth and dexterity.
Key features:
– Durable, single-layer FULLTOUCH microfiber palm for maximum bike feel.
– Touch screen compatibility throughout the palm.
– Single layer, fleece-lined top for added warmth.
– Extended stretch neoprene cuff for easy on/off.
– Grip Graphics for enhanced grip and style.
– A convenient towel sweat cloth on the thumb for those cold-weather runny noses.
This glove is rated for temperatures between 3°C to 10°C and is available in three attractive patterns: Blizzard Bolts, Golden Hour, and Olive Cascade. Each design offers a unique style and statement for riders:
Blizzard Bolts
Picture this: Zeus himself flinging these gloves like lightning bolts from the heavens to keep your fingers toasty hot on the handlebars. Not only do they ward off the cold, but they also transform your digits into a tropical oasis as they reach for that ice-cold post-ride beverage.
The design boasts a blizzard of lightning bolts perfectly complemented by the iconic “SEND IT” line across the palms. These gloves are electric, and they’re ready to electrify your winter rides.
Olive Cascade
From conquering the highest peaks to those lesser-known but equally thrilling summits, the Olive Cascade winter gloves have descended from the mountains to rest atop your handlebars.
The olive, orange, and black design on the back pays homage to the majestic peaks you’ll inevitably conquer while wearing these beauties. “SHRED” emblazoned on the palms serves as a constant reminder that these gloves are built for epic winter adventures and will keep your hands as toasty as a wood stove in a cozy mountain cabin so you can keep shredding even as the temperature drops.
Golden Hour
Introducing the Golden Hour design, a delightful ray of sunshine for your customers during the colder months. These gloves bring the warmth of a cozy, golden sunset right to your hands.
Handup asked Bob Ross what to call these gloves, and he said, “It reminds me of a golden hour of warm light peeking through some happy little trees in the middle of winter”. Who can argue with the wisdom of Bob Ross? This design infuses winter rides with joy and warmth, making you feel like you’re cycling through a perpetual golden hour.
ColdER Weather Gloves
The ColdER Weather Glove is perfect for even colder temperatures or exceptionally cold days during high-intensity rides. The dual layer construction still allows for ample dexterity and warmth in a fully touch screen compatible glove.
Key features:
– Durable, single-layer FULLTOUCH microfiber palm for maximum bike feel.
– Touch screen compatibility throughout the palm.
– Dual-layer fleece lining for maximum warmth.
– Extended neoprene cuff.
– Grip Graphics for superior grip and style.
– A large towel sweat cloth on the thumb.
– Durable Clarino leather palm for maximum bike feel.
The ColdER Weather Glove is rated for temperatures between 0°C to 6°C and is available in two stylish patterns: City Camo Black and Hi Viz Splatter, each designed to stand out and complement any style.
City Camo Black
Camouflage is woven into the very fabric of HANDUP, a brand that’s always stood out while blending in. Year after year, they’ve released new iterations of camouflage patterned gloves; a testament to their love for designs that can both disappear into the environment and stand out in a crowd.
City Camo Black offers a contemporary, monochromatic interpretation of the classic camouflage pattern. The design effortlessly shifts from urban stealth to trail standout, making a distinctive statement in both city and wilderness settings. With “FULL SEND” boldly declared on the palm, these gloves are designed for riders who appreciate style that’s as versatile as it is eye-catching, mirroring Handup’s own brand ethos.
Hi-Viz Splatter
Prepare to be the highest of visibility with the Hi-Viz Splatter design.
These gloves are like a wild splash of highlighter yellow and speckles of green and purple paint that make it look like you’ve ridden straight out of the neon-soaked ’80s. Accompanied by the confident proclamation of “RIDE DIRTY” across the palms, these gloves are a statement piece for riders who want to be seen. Hi-Viz Splatter gloves are not just for riding; they’re an undeniably bold fashion statement, setting the stage for a ride that’s as visually exciting as it is thrilling.
Sizing Recommendations
Handup offers a wide range of sizes from XXS to XXL, ensuring everyone can find their perfect fit. It’s essential to note that winter gloves should fit slightly larger than your standard Handup Gloves, as this allows room for hand heat to be trapped within the glove, ensuring warmth.
What Reviews Say
Here’s what riders are saying about Handup’s Winter Gloves:
Review 1: Drew Rohde, The Loam Wolf
- “I never felt like my hands were imprisoned in a vacuum pack. The single layer Clarion palm allows for a close and comfortable relationship with your grips, while the top part of the glove offers that ‘just right’ amount of non-bulky insulation. I could easily wiggle my fingers and I still had the dexterity to grab keys or a bar out of my pocket.” Click here to continue reading the full review.
Review 2: Nikki Rohan, PinkBike
- “At the beginning of each ride my fingertips were frigid, but once I started climbing and my body warmed up, my hands felt warm and toasty (even on long descents, when my fingertips typically get cold again). As the day warmed up the gloves maintained good breathability. I never felt like my hands were imprisoned in a vacuum pack.
