What are convertible running gloves and are they worth it?
Convertible running gloves switch between gloves and mittens, giving you more control over warmth. They are useful for changing conditions since you can cover your fingers in cold wind or expose them when you heat up. They are also useful for allowing extra dexterity without exposing your entire hand to the cold. If you want to take a picture you can take the mitten top off instead of pulling your whole glove off.
