Whilst you’re out and about enjoying the (inevitable) snow this winter, you need to make sure that you’re suitably equipped in order to enjoy it as much, and for as long, as you possibly can. Nearly every snow-related activity that you will undertake will involve the use of your hands, so a pair of ski gloves is essential!

One of the first things to consider is, gloves or mittens? Both have their advantages, but eventually, it comes down to personal preference and the type of activity that you’re planning to undertake whilst wearing them. These factors should help to shape your final decision.

For men, the ‘Meteor’ ski gloves from Quiksilver are the current best seller, a pair which possesses an adjustable wrist strap, one hand cuff closure, nose wipe thumb panel and a PU palm. One of our most popular pairs of mittens for men however, the ‘Barts Basic’ also has a PU palm, as well as a water resistant shell and fibre insulation – keeping your hands both toasty warm and dry.

An example of a pair of gloves and mittens for ladies are the Trespass ‘Vizza’ gloves and the Dare 2b ‘Upreach’ mittens. Both pairs are waterproof, breathable and padded, which is a good start! The gloves have an adjustable drawcord which is extremely beneficial in helping to retain heat, whilst the mitts have an elasticated wrist and adjustable cuffs – which should benefit you the same.

We have eighteen different styles of ski gloves or mittens for children, from six brands and in six different colours! The Marmot ‘Glade’ gloves have a MemBrain® waterproof and breathable insert, are fleece lined and are also insulated – which sounds like a perfect combination! Alternatively, the ‘Jetty’ mitts are also waterproof and insulated; with the addition of brushed tricot lining and an adjustable wrist strap. These mitts are made from 55% polyurethane and 45% polyester.
