Gore-tex Infinium Stretch gloves

£44.99, gorewear.com

Infinium sounds like the most space-aged material ever made. Actually it’s just the name Gore has given its use of a combination of existing fabrics, but these gloves are still the perfect solution for those autumn days when the weather can’t make up its mind. If the sun’s out, they’ll tuck away unnoticed in a rear pocket; if it gets chilly, windy or showery, they’ll keep digits toasty and dry. The cunningly shaped material also means fewer seams that might bunch or chafe, so they are extra-comfy. They won’t replace proper winter gloves, but for those in-between days they’re a no-brainer.
