WESTWOOD FOX Small Thermal Cycling Gloves with Touchscreen Fingers and Grip

For winter cycling and outdoor exercise, these gloves are aimed at adults who want warmth, a steadier grip and the ability to use a touchscreen without taking them off.

The WESTWOOD FOX gloves come in black and size Small. Their soft-shell exterior and fleece lining are paired with thermal insulation for cold-weather activities.

Touchscreen material on the thumb and index finger, plus silicone printing on the palm, adds practical detail for rides and other outdoor sessions. The shell is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof: the seams are not waterproof, and the gloves should not be immersed.

Benefits

The fleece lining and stated 10 grams of Thinsulate insulation are intended to help retain warmth during activities such as cycling, running, walking, skiing and snowboarding. That makes these more suited to cold-weather use than a basic, unlined pair of gloves. They are also listed for football and other outdoor activities, so their appeal is not limited to cycling.

Conductive material on the thumb and index finger lets you operate a mobile phone, tablet, smartwatch or car touchscreen while wearing the gloves. This can be useful when stopping on a ride to check a device, without exposing your hands to the cold. Silicone printing on the palm is designed to increase friction, giving you a more secure hold on handlebars or equipment.

The water-resistant shell may help in light rain or snowy conditions, but the seams are a clear limitation in wetter weather. For prolonged exposure to rain, a glove with waterproof seams would be a more suitable choice.

Key takeaways

This is an adult, ambidextrous glove in Small, with a soft-shell and fleece construction. The product is described as stretchy, while the thermal lining, touchscreen fingertips and grippy palm cover the main day-to-day needs for winter activities. The pack quantity is one.

Worth considering if you want one pair for cycling and other outdoor exercise, and value being able to use a touchscreen without removing a glove. Compared with a simpler winter glove, the touchscreen panels and silicone palm add useful features, a more specialised waterproof design is the better approach when keeping hands dry in sustained rain is the priority.

Tips for day-to-day use

For a winter ride, the grip printing is intended to help you hold the handlebars securely, while the touchscreen fingertips can make it easier to check a phone during a stop. The same combination may suit a walk or run where you want warm hands and occasional device access. As the seams are not waterproof, treat the water resistance as protection for light rain or snow, not as a reason to immerse the gloves or rely on them in prolonged wet conditions.

The listed size is Small, so use that detail when deciding whether this pair is suitable for you or as a gift. The product information also describes the gloves as stretchy and available in different sizes, but this listing is for the Small option.

Should you buy it?

You may want to skip it if your main requirement is protection from heavy or persistent rain, since the seams are not waterproof. For cold-weather cycling and general outdoor activity, the useful combination is warmth, touchscreen access and added palm grip in one pair. If you prioritise those everyday features over full waterproofing, the WESTWOOD FOX Small gloves are a practical match for light, chilly outings.
