There are only two things that running gloves should do: keep your hands warm and not make them sweat. Everything else, reflective patterns, conductive fingertips, doesn’t mean anything if they can’t do it.
But it’s not easy to accomplish, because gloves that are lightweight and breathable may not be thick enough at the start of a race, while heavier fabrics can produce unpleasant sticky palms after 20 minutes. Waterproof gloves are avoided more often because it’s almost impossible to find ones that are breathable enough that your hands don’t get as wet from sweat like rain.
