What gloves are best for dog walking in wet weather?
When you’re out walking your dog in wet or damp conditions, the best gloves are those that offer waterproofing, breathability, and a reliable grip. Look for gloves with a waterproof membrane such as our Aquasealz® membrane that prevents rain, drizzle, or spray from penetrating, while allowing sweat and moisture from your hands to escape. On the palm side, a grippy or textured finish helps you maintain control of the leash, even when surfaces are slick. Gloves that combine insulation without bulk ensure your hands stay warm but not overheated. In short: a well-fitting, waterproof, breathable glove with grip is your ideal companion for rainy dog walks.
How do I keep hands warm while walking a dog?
Keeping your hands warm during dog walks relies on good insulation and smart layering. Here are some tips:
- In extreme cold, pair your gloves with a thermal liner under the waterproof shell to trap heat close to your skin.
- Choose insulating materials such as fleece, merino wool, or synthetic insulation (e.g. Primaloft) inside the glove to retain warmth.
- Make sure your gloves fit well, not too tight (which restricts circulation) and not too loose (which lets in drafts).
- Tuck the glove cuffs under or over your jacket sleeves to prevent cold air or rain from running inside.
What materials are best for waterproof gloves?
The most effective waterproof gloves use a layered material system combining these elements:
- A waterproof membrane are sandwiched between outer and inner fabrics to block external moisture while allowing internal sweat vapour to escape.
- A durable outer shell fabric (nylon, polyester, softshell) repels light abrasion and helps shed water.
- Insulating materials like fleece, merino wool, or synthetic fibres inside help trap warmth.
- Grip enhancement via silicone, rubber, or textured reinforcements on the palm and fingers helps with leash handling in wet or slippery conditions.
- Sealed seams and minimal stitching reduce potential leak paths.
In a waterproof glove, the shell, membrane, insulation and grip all work together to keep your hands dry, warm, and functional.
