Award‑Winning Touchscreen & Performance Gloves for Running, Riding & Outdoor Sports

Cold hands shouldn't stop you doing what you love.

That belief has driven eGLOVE since 2011 - designing high-performance, touchscreen-compatible gloves for runners, equestrians, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who refuse to let the weather or poor kit get in the way.

Founded in the UK and trusted by thousands of customers across Britain, Europe and beyond, eGLOVE has earned recognition from Runner's World and Horse & Rider for gloves that genuinely perform.

How It All Started

The idea came to life on a freezing mountain in 2009. One of our founders pulled out his phone in sub-zero temperatures, only to find it completely unusable. Gloves came off, fingers went numb - and frustration quickly turned into an idea.

Why, in a world of advanced sportswear and smart technology, were gloves still holding people back?

The first prototype gloves followed in 2010. By 2011, the range was ready - and James joined the business for the launch of eGLOVE - bringing the brand to runners, riders and cyclists across the UK.

Over fifteen years on, that original question still drives everything we make.

From One Idea to a Multi‑Sport Brand

What started as a solution to one problem quickly grew into a full range of sport-specific gloves, designed around how athletes and riders actually move, grip and train.

We've refined our materials, fits and features to meet the real demands of people who use their hands hard - whether that's holding reins in a winter arena, pacing a dark early morning run, or gripping handlebars in driving rain.

Today, eGLOVE makes gloves for runners, horse riders, cyclists, outdoor workers and anyone who refuses to let the cold win.

“We started eGLOVE because cold hands were ruining great experiences… These days, we still get a thrill that people CHOOSE to wear our gloves and support our business! We never forget that customers have a choice, and are always looking for continual improvement”

— JAMES YEO | FOUNDER

Proven Performance, Trusted by Thousands

Our gloves are tried, tested and trusted by athletes and everyday users alike. We've earned a Runner's World Gold Award and a Best In Test Award from Horse & Rider - recognition that's been built on product performance, not marketing spend.

With customers across the UK, Europe and beyond, eGLOVE has become the go-to glove for people who expect comfort, durability and usability from their kit.

What Makes eGLOVE Different

Touchscreen technology that actually works
Purpose-built conductive materials across fingers and thumbs, so you can use your phone, GPS or smartwatch without pulling a glove off.

Sport-specific design
We don't make generic gloves. Every eGLOVE product is engineered for the specific grip, movement and conditions of its sport - riding, running, cycling or working outdoors.

Comfort, fit and feel
A great glove should feel like a second skin. Flexible, breathable and secure, even through long sessions or tough conditions.

Built to be used
Machine-washable, durable and designed to be worn hard. Not left in a drawer.

Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward: to make gloves that enhance performance, keep you comfortable and remove the barriers between you and the activities you love.

We listen to our customers, refine our designs and keep pushing for better materials, better fit and better function - because good enough never is.

A British Brand, built on trust

eGLOVE is proudly British - designed, developed and sold from the UK since 2011.

Our customers range from competitive riders and marathon runners to weekend cyclists and dog walkers. What they share is an expectation of quality, and a preference for kit that does its job without fuss.
Their feedback shapes every product update we make. We're not a giant sports brand. We're a specialist - and that matters.
