Full details
The SPATZWEAR Thermoz2 Deep Winter Gloves are designed for cyclists who demand extreme warmth and versatility in cold weather conditions. Developed with input from a double Olympic Champion and tested by the Alpecin Deceuninck Pro cycling team, these gloves offer exceptional protection from 5°C down to -3°C. A key caveat is that for even colder conditions, the Thrmoz XTRM model is recommended. Key features include integrated fold-out wind covers for adjustable warmth, a premium YKK wrist zipper for easy access, and an updated design with improved fold-out finger covers offering enhanced versatility.

FAQs
What is the optimal temperature range for the Thermoz2 gloves?
The SPATZWEAR Thermoz2 Deep Winter Gloves are designed for temperatures between 5°C and -3°C. For conditions colder than -3°C, the SPATZWEAR Thermoz XTRM is recommended.
How do the fold-out wind covers work?
The revised design features improved fold-out finger covers. One cover can now split into two, allowing for more options. When deployed, they provide extra insulation against the cold and wind. When not needed, they can be tucked away for better dexterity and ventilation.
Are these gloves waterproof?
The Thermoz2 gloves offer water resistance to protect against road spray and light precipitation, helping to keep hands dry. They are not fully waterproof for heavy rain or submersion.
How do I clean my Thermoz2 gloves?
Hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water. Do not use bleach. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I wear liner gloves with the Thermoz2?
Yes, you can wear thin liner gloves underneath for added warmth in very cold conditions. This may slightly affect dexterity depending on the thickness of the liner.
What is the difference between Thermoz2 and Thermoz XTRM?
The Thermoz2 is designed for deep winter from 5°C down to -3°C, offering versatility with its fold-out covers. The Thermoz XTRM is designed for ultimate warmth and is suitable for even colder conditions than the Thermoz2.
What size should I order?
Refer to the SPATZWEAR sizing chart, typically available on their website or retailer's product page. Measure your hand circumference and length accurately for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure the YKK wrist zipper is fully open when putting them on. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate for your hand. For very cold conditions, the added layers of the wind covers can slightly increase perceived tightness; ensure they are correctly folded.
Wind covers are difficult to deploy or retract.
Check for any debris or snags around the zipper or fabric. Gently work the covers back and forth. Ensure your hands are completely dry when attempting to manipulate the covers, as moisture can sometimes make the fabric slightly sticky.
Hands still feel cold at -3°C.
Ensure the wind covers are fully deployed and sealed. Check that the YKK wrist zipper is completely closed. For sustained riding in extreme cold, consider using a thinner liner glove underneath or upgrading to the SPATZWEAR Thermoz XTRM model, which offers enhanced insulation.
Zipper is stiff.
Clean the zipper area gently with a damp cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (suitable for zippers) can be applied sparingly. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These gloves require no special setup. Simply wear them as you would any cycling glove. Ensure the YKK wrist zipper is fully closed for maximum warmth and protection. The fold-out wind covers can be deployed or tucked away as needed based on current temperature and wind conditions.
Compatibility:
The Thermoz2 gloves are designed for cycling and are compatible with most drop-bar and flat-bar bicycles. They offer sufficient dexterity for operating shifters, brakes, and other controls.
Care:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your SPATZWEAR Thermoz2 gloves:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the gloves to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the material excessively, especially the wind covers.
