In this article I’m going to give you the best women’s waterproof cycling gloves.
To be sure we’re on the same page, with waterproof I mean that no matter what the outside circumstances are, your hands will stay dry. So technically you could immerse the glove with your hands in it, and still keep them dry as long as no water get’s over the cuff.
From a technical perspective waterproof means the seams of the product, in this case cycling gloves, are taped on the inside, preventing water from getting into it. When a product is water resistant it means the fabric repels droplets up to a certain point, and the seams aren’t taped.
All of these waterproof cycling gloves for women are windproof and have some form of insulation as well. That means changes of your hands getting chilly is reduced to a minimum, which makes all of these options listed here perfect for your average winter ride.
There are a number of gloves which are specifically meant for women, while the majority are unisex-type gloves.
Whatever you choose, you can be sure these women’s waterproof cycling gloves keep your hands warm and dry in the wettest cycling conditions.
Giro Women's Pivot 2.0 Gloves
The Giro Women’s Pivot 2.0 gloves are the most minimalistic waterproof cycling gloves on this list. They are also the cheapest.

It’s also one of the few gloves with a gel padding in the palm for added comfort. The gloves can be used for touchscreens as well.
