Specialized Sub Zero winter glove review

If you have to ride in a blizzard, these are the gloves to reach for. There’s a simple and well-fitted fleece inner and a water- and windproof insulating outer that keep your hands super-warm.

The outer feels bulky on the bar, reducing fine finger control, but the two-piece design allows you to easily remove the outer, so if you’re on hot climbs or fixing a flat and in need of dexterity, you can wear the inner gloves on their own.

As trail and weather conditions change, you can easily pop on the outers; their over-the-cuff fit and one-hand wrist clinch mean they’re easy to pull on while riding along.
