No one wants to ski when their hands are cold! Women’s gloves, mittens & Liners come in a large selection of materials like leather, Gore-Tex, polyester, and many others types of gloves & mittens. So many options can make it tough to decide which product to buy.
How do you know which gloves or mittens to buy?
You will want to start with knowing if you prefer more mobility with your hands. Gloves can give you more hand use while buckling your ski helmet or zipping up your ski pants pocket without taking your gloves off. Mittens provide less mobility but offer more warmth. If your hands get cold more easily, mittens may be better. The single pocket allows all your fingers to stay together, creating warmer hands. Some skiers and snowboarders use glove liners. Glove liners add an extra layer of warmth on those super cold days. You can check out touchscreen liners to keep your hands warm while using your phone.
Next, it is good to determine what type of wrist cover you prefer. Some skiers and boarders prefer their jackets to overlap their gloves. Others prefer to buy gloves like The Northface Women’s Montana FUTURELIGHT Etip Gloves, which have a more extensive wrist cover over the top of the ski jacket. They have an elastic band that tightens and prevents snow from getting in. If you spend more time in powder conditions, you may want more heavy-duty gloves that stay dry and keeps snow out.
Lastly, paying attention to the conditions you will be riding in is essential. Spring skiing does not require super thick gloves as often compared to the winter months. You always want to be comfortable when on the mountain. Check out glove & mitten accessories like hand warmers,
