Built for cold runs. Down for anything else.
When the temperature drops and the miles stack up, the Merino Motion Trail Gloves keep your hands warm, dry, and responsive. The merino grid fabric naturally regulates temperature, providing warmth in the cold while staying breathable during high output efforts. Moisture wicks away quickly to prevent clammy hands, keeping you focused on the trail.
A dedicated watch window lets you check your pace without pulling up your sleeve, and touchscreen compatible fingertips make it easy to switch songs or check maps without losing heat. Grippy silicone on the palms and fingers ensures a secure hold on bottles, poles, and even handlebars in any condition.
Lightweight, naturally odor resistant, and designed for performance in cold conditions, these gloves are built for runners, hikers, and anyone who refuses to sit out winter.

Perfect Gloves for Hiking
These gloves fit my hands and fingers perfectly. My favorite part, though, is the watch slit. It’s such a small thing, but it makes a big difference. I can check my watch without taking the gloves off, and no other brand I’ve tried has this feature.

The Watch Cutout Is Amazing
So warm! The watch cutout is amazing.
I have a similar type of glove from another brand but these are by far more comfortable and warmer. Easy to send a text with these on too.

Warm But Breathable
Took these out for a spin a couple weeks ago and after 10 minutes or so, was thinking that maybe I didn't need gloves after all. But I left them on, and was very surprised that my hands weren't totally sweaty. Really great to know that these can be more flexible in terms of temperature.

This glove has it ALL!! The construction and materials are top notch and...the watch window! Perfection
TL;DR: definitely worth the money!
I was going to order these last year and missed my chance when they sold out. I got them this year primarily as a cycling glove for cooler weather. These performed really well for road cycling on mornings with near freezing temps and very well on mtb rides. They work really well with touch screen devices, and the cutout for the watch face works really well with my Apple Watch Ultra.
My caveat would be that wind can get through them a little bit (not noticeable once you’re warmed up.) I don’t imagine this would be an issue with other activities like running or hiking since the constant wind is less of a factor.
Ordered these for cold-weather hiking as well as daily wear. The recommended size (L- also what my old UA pair is) was too small so returned for next size up, but likely should have even went larger - but just kept them. Quality materials, smart style, and really love that all fingers can work on a phone screen - plus the palm grip makes me feel like spider man. Apple Watch Ultra is a tight fit in the wrist area hole, but once you have it on, the glove does a great job blocking wind and cold air on hands and wrists.
These gloves are fantastic. When running, they work solo down to mid thirties, and with a windproof shell, they dip down to the upper teens. Unlike other gloves I've tried, these never leave my hands sweaty, even when temps climb. The watch window is well fitted around my Garmin Enduro 3.
On durability, I took a nasty fall on concrete that I broke in part with my gloved hands. Zero abrasion. No marks. So impressed with these gloves.
The Merino Motion Trail gloves are the best I’ve used. They are comfortable, warm, breathable, and thoughtfully designed. The watch windows (yes, both gloves have one) allow your watch to be visible while keeping your wrist covered and warm. The touchscreen fingertips are effective on both my watch and phone, and the silicone pattern on the palms, thumbs, and index fingers provides a very secure grip. Highly recommended.
They fit great and make for great walking/biking cloths. My first pair had a rip on the thumb seam. But KETL was imediant with doing a swap for a new pair. I was told that the first batch of gloves had more of this issue, but the new ones can still happen. So time will tell how long the others will last, thus the 4 stars.
Best running gloves I’ve had by a mile. Warm and flexible. You can actually use your phone. And has nice place to put your watch through! Amazing.
These gloves are awesome. I wore them on a snowshoe hike yesterday and was impressed as to how well they kept my hands warm. Even when they got wet my hands were fine. They dried fast too. As for comfort, the fit Is perfect and I love the whole hand touchscreen action. Top notch quality as always from KETL.
Great glove!
Fits great for me. Watch opening is the best! Outdoor walks and driving in my early Bronco. I used smartwool before this and they were just ok. These are slim and perfect for light stuff.
Great gloves and the the watch feature is nice if you monitor your runs
Great
Fit well and perfect for my watch!
Then you're a great gloves but I ordered the wrong size and I need to return exchange them for the size bigger other than that they were great if it wasn't for that I would say five star but there's my fault for that so I guess 5 stars lol
👍❤️👍
Like every KETL product I’ve ever owned, these are high quality.
With the weather warm to hot I've not used the gloves yet but the fit is spot on for my broad palms - snug but not too tight. And, just the right weight. Looking forward to cooler temps when I will use them regularly on Montana trails and slopes.
Bought a size L to start as I usually wear a M/L glove, but they were tight in the fingers.Great customer service as always, easy exchange for an XL that fit much better. Love the cuff opening for a watch, and fantastic performance on touchscreens (phone)!
