From Lecol.com: A proper pair of gloves can carry you through the worst of conditions. These are our warmest winter gloves, using protective and luxurious thermal materials to offer exceptional warmth without excess bulk for better dexterity on the hoods. The Hors Categorie Deep Winter Gloves deliver advanced protection from the cold, while a DWR coating repels water and road spray. Silicone grippers over the palm ensure a secure grip whilst a microfibre suede nose wipe over the back of the thumb offers further functionality.
