With the weather starting to cool down, accessories such as gloves can make all the difference in a runner's experience. Zensah, developer of the number one selling compression leg sleeves in the US, just announced the release of a new advanced running glove. Zensah has incorporated their innovative technology into the Smart-Touch Running Glove to ensure runner's hands stay warm and dry in addition to making them comfortable and easy to use with technology.

Wearing the right style gloves helps to regulate body temperature and improve the running experience for athletes. The new Zensah Smart-Touch Gloves are made of 4 way stretch breathable fabric that allows for movability and moisture management. They feature reflective stripes for added visibility, as well as a micro suede thumb designed for mess-free wiping of runny noses.

Running gloves play a large role in fall and winter running. Traditional gloves are heavy, bulky, and slippery, making it difficult for runners to operate a touch screen. Zensah's gloves combat these issues by incorporating i-Tip Technology, developed so athletes may use touch screens without having to take gloves off. In addition to this, the gloves feature a silicon palm enabling runners to maintain a better grip on their electronics, while preventing drops and breakage.

These new gloves were released just in time for the start of fall. They are currently available in in three sizes in black.

Parker Robinson, spokesperson for Zensah says, “We are so excited for the launch of the Smart-Touch Gloves. Although different from our well-known compression line, the gloves utilize our unique technology and target the needs of cold weather running.”
