Winter Waterproof Gloves

Riding on cold highland roads above 2,000 metres, or through Kenya's heavy rain seasons, demands insulated, waterproof gloves that keep your hands warm and dry while maintaining safe lever feel. The Bike Yard Kenya stocks winter and waterproof gloves with Gore-Tex or proprietary waterproof membranes, insulated liners for cold temperatures, and long gauntlet cuffs that seal over jacket sleeves in heavy rain. Brands include Alpinestars, RST and Held at prices from KES 7,500 to KES 22,000. We recommend sizing up half a size when choosing waterproof gloves worn with a mid-layer, cold, stiff hands are a safety risk on long mountain descents. Our staff can advise on the warmest options for highland touring routes to Nanyuki, Nyahururu and the Aberdares.
