Zensah Gloves Review

I haven’t gone for a run since the Half Marathon, so there isn’t much to post about running.  However I do want to tell you about the Zensah Smart Touch Running Gloves.  A representative from Zensah asked me if I’d like to try out their gloves for the half marathon, and of course I said YES!  I’d be looking for a pair of gloves to wear and had no luck until I saw these.

The gloves are great because they have the iTip technology, which allows you to use your iPhone or other touch-screen devices.  When I found out that little fact, I was sold!  I hate when I go for a run in the winter and I have to take off my gloves to flip through my music. 

During the half marathon, I wore the gloves for the first few miles until my whole body started to warm up.  The gloves are very breathable and keep your hands warm but not too warm.  I think these are perfect for running, but probably not too great for your everyday commute.  I prefer to have fleece or leather gloves for the day-to-day, but I will keep these gloves around for my outdoor runs this season.

The gloves also have silicon gripping on the palm of each glove to keep your devices in place.  Although a minor detail, I find this to be critical.  There’s nothing worse than wearing gloves and have your expensive iPhone slip out of your hands and onto the ground. 

I don’t typically run at night, but if you do these gloves also have reflective stripes for increased visibility. 

For $29.99 you can’t really beat these gloves.  They are the perfect holiday present for the runner in your life.
