If you need warmth but you want to ensure that your hands don’t get sweaty, then choosing natural materials like wool and cashmere is a good idea.
what material should your gloves be?
This is going to come down to preference and practicality. We love wool and cashmere options if it’s not raining, or leather if you need a pair to keep out wind, rain and snow.
