The Gore Wear glove lineup is a little bit confusing. We included the Windstopper Thermo Gloves in our list of the best winter cycling gloves, and we included the C5 Gore-Tex gloves in our coverage of the Gore cycling clothing range. Neither of those is the warmest option the brand offers though.
If you are looking for the warmest option from the brand, you’ll want to look at the Gore-Tex Infinium Thermo Split Gloves. One problem though, Infinium is the non-waterproof version of the famous Gore-Tex membrane. That means the warmest gloves Gore Wear offers with a waterproof membrane is the C5 Gore-Tex Thermo glove.

You’ll notice that part of the name of these Gore Wear C5 Gore-Tex Thermo gloves is that exact term: Gore-Tex. That means these gloves use a multi-layer approach including a completely waterproof liner that will not leak or wear out like DWR. It’s actually backed by a guarantee stating just that, but it’s buried in the layers of the glove, so don’t expect to see it.
The inner lining of the gloves uses a polyester fleece material. You’ll…
