Giro Xnetic H2O Gloves: Waterproof Winter Cycling Gloves Review (£29.99)
The Giro Xnetic H2O is a thin waterproof winter glove with a knit outer, built for riders who want wet-weather protection without a bulky mitt. We have not tested it ourselves. This page collects the listed construction, the Tredz price and where it fits a triathlete’s wet-season riding.
Available now: Giro Xnetic H2O Long Finger Winter Cycling Gloves — £29.99 at Tredz (RRP £54.99), correct at time of writing, 1 October 2026.
What the manufacturer and retailers list
- Waterproofing: listings describe a three-layer build with Giro’s RainGuard membrane between a nylon outer and a hypoallergenic liner.
- Outer: a knit with a bonded TPU skeletal structure for support, treated for water repellency.
- Details: stitch-free slip-on cuff, touchscreen-compatible fingertips, non-slip palm and printed reflective logos.
- Materials: listings give 90% nylon, 8% spandex and 2% rubber.
- Temperature: retailer listings quote use down to about 5°C, so this is a cool-and-wet glove rather than a freezing-weather one.
Where it fits a triathlete’s autumn
The points below are our reading of the listed specs, not test results.
- Wet 5-10°C rides. The membrane is the point: it is meant to keep hands dry in rain, which a windproof glove will not do over a long ride.
- Layer for real cold. At about 5°C and below, a thin waterproof glove with no heavy insulation will probably need a liner underneath.
- Dexterity. Thin knit gloves usually leave more feel for the brake and gear levers than bulky winter mitts, though we have not tested this pair.
